A man exposed himself to a woman on the 7 train, fleeing at a nearby Queens station, but not before his victim captured his face with her cellphone camera, police said.

The incident happened aboard a Manhattan-bound train on April 26 at about 3:30 p.m.

According to authorities, the suspect exposed himself to the 31-year-old victim while staring at her as the train entered the 103rd Street-Corona Plaza station. He then exited the train at the 74th Street stop in Jackson Heights.

Police have identified the suspect as Roger Almeida, a 61-year-old Hispanic man described as 5 feet 7 inches tall, 175 pounds with brown eyes and gray hair. He was last seen wearing a gray jacket and white sneakers.
