Cops are on the prowl for a creep who stuck his hand down the pants of a man sleeping aboard a northbound 6 train in downtown Manhattan early Saturday morning.
The 25-year-old victim awoke in the East Village just after 2 a.m. to an unknown man’s hand inside his pants, police said.
The victim had been asleep on the northbound 6 train, which was approaching the Astor Place subway station at the time of the assault.
The creep was last seen fleeing the train, police added.
Police described the perp as being a man with a light complexion and a heavy build.
He was last seen wearing a dark-colored baseball cap, greenish-yellow shirt, tan pants and tan boots.
A photo of the man shared by NYPD shows him wearing black square-framed glasses and a Yankee cap.
The victim was physically uninjured, police said.
Anyone with information related to the incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or submit tips on the Crime Stoppers website, on Twitter @NYPDTips.
