Man Chokes Woman, Fondles Himself On Crown Heights 3 Train: Cops

CROWN HEIGHTS, BROOKLYN — Police are looking for the man who choked a woman with one hand and fondled himself with the other on a Brooklyn train, according to police.

Police released a photo this weekend of a man they believe attacked a 51-year-old woman whom he followed from the Sutter-Avenue-Rutland Road station onto a Manhattan-bound 3 train on March 13.

The man cornered the woman on the moving train, threw one arm around her neck and shoved his hand down his pants, police said.

The woman eventually fought him off and he ran away into the Franklin Avenue station on Eastern Parkway, police said.

Police are now looking for a man in his early 30s, last seen wearing a beige baseball cap, black sweatshirt with a red hood and jeans.

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