BROOKLYN — Police are searching for a man accused of committing a lewd act next to a woman on a Manhattan-bound C train Thursday morning before fleeing the scene.
The incident occurred around 9:15 a.m. as the train approached the Kingston-Throop Avenues Station in Bedford-Stuyvesant. A 24-year-old woman reported that an unidentified man sat beside her and performed the act without her consent.
The suspect left the train at the next stop and fled in an unknown direction. No physical injuries were reported.
The individual is described as a man in his 30s with a dark complexion and medium build. He was last seen wearing all black and a red bandana.
Police have not made any arrests and the investigation is ongoing.
A manhunt is underway after a woman was targeted during a morning subway commute in Brooklyn.
