Police from the 110th Precinct in Elmhurst are on the lookout for a creep who groped a woman near the Moore Homestead Playground late last month.

The 33-year-old victim was in front of 82-02 45th Avenue on the evening of Tuesday, Nov. 23, when a man approached her and forcibly grabbed her rear end before taking off on foot, police said, adding that there were no injuries reported as a result of the incident.

The NYPD released surveillance video of the suspect as he jumped a turnstile at a nearby subway station. The assailant was wearing a black Brooklyn Nets baseball cap with black headphones, a black hoodie over a white T-shirt, blue jeans and dark shoes.

No arrests have been made. The investigation is ongoing.
