The incident happened as the 34-year-old victim was on board the Queens-bound train about 7:40 a.m., authorities said.

As the train was at the Grand Avenue stop in Elmhurst, the man sat down in front of the woman and allegedly exposed himself. He then got off at the next stop on Woodhaven and Queens boulevards.

Police describe the suspect as a Hispanic man, about 5 feet 5 inches tall and 140 pounds.
