Man Flashes Woman On Upper West Side Subway, Police Say

UPPER WEST SIDE, NY — The NYPD is trying to identify a man who flashed a woman on a subway train traveling through the Upper West Side, police said.

A 45-year-old woman was riding a southbound 2 train on the Upper West Side on the morning of Wednesday, Dec. 20 when she noticed the man sitting next to her had exposed his genitals, police said.

The woman snapped a picture of the creep, which caused him to exit the train when it arrived at the West 96th Street and Broadway station, police said.

The flasher (pictured above) is likely in his 20s or 30s and stands about 5-foot-6, weighs about 160 pounds and has short dreadlocks, police said. The man was last seen wearing a dark green hooded sweater and dark green sweatpants.

Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
