Police are searching for the creep who allegedly groped a 7 train rider in the Main Street subway station in downtown Flushing last week.

Police from the 109th Precinct and Transit District 20 are looking for the suspect behind the groping that occurred at 4:50 a.m. on Tuesday, June 20.

The victim, a 28-year-old man, was walking on the northbound 7 train platform, where the suspect approached him and grabbed his rear end over his clothing, police said. The creep proceeded to grab the victim’s genital area over his clothing.

The suspect ran off to an unknown part of the station, according to authorities.

The victim did not sustain any physical injuries as a result of the incident.

The NYPD released surveillance photos of the suspect on June 28. He has a medium complexion and a beard and was last seen wearing a black vest over a dark sleeveless T-shirt, dark shorts, a black baseball cap and black backpack.

Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPDs Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS.
