The police have released an image of a man accused of exposing and fondling himself to a young woman. According to the Daily News, "The sicko sat across from the teen on a Queens-bound G train at the Woodhaven Blvd. station in Elmhurst on Nov. 7 at about 3a.m., cops said. He allegedly stared at the victim and pleasured himself. The woman bolted from the train when the doors opened and boarded a Brooklyn-bound train out of the station, police said." The suspect is "described as a 5-foot-11 black male between 30 and 40 years old. He was last seen wearing a white jacket, dark pants and a blue stocking hat with white trim." Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers: Call 1-800-577-TIPS, text CRIMES and then enter TIP577, or visit www.nypdcrimestoppers.com.
