Smiling Subway Perv Attacks In Bed-Stuy Station, Cops Say

BEDFORD-STUYVESANT, BROOKLYN -- A smiling subway grinder sexually abused a woman in a Bed-Stuy subway station last month, police said.

Police released photos Thursday of a man they believe rubbed his groin against a woman in the Utica Avenue A and C train station on Dec. 16 at about 3:15 p.m.

The woman was using a MetroCard vending machine when she felt the man groping her from behind, so she pushed him away with her elbow and ran out of the station near Utica Avenue and Fulton Street, police said.

Police describe the suspect as a man in his late 20s, standing about 5-foot 11-inches tall, weighing about 170 pounds and last seen wearing a burgundy hoodie and a black jacket.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact police.
