Elderly Man Gropes Woman Waiting in Line at Manhattan Subway Station: Cops

Police are looking for an elderly man they say grabbed a woman's buttocks as she waited at a token booth in a Manhattan subway station last month. 

Authorities say the suspect grabbed the woman from behind as she waited in line at the R station on Whitehall and South streets Feb. 17 around 10 a.m. 

She turned around to confront the man and he ran off, police say. The woman managed to take a photo of him with her phone before he fled (above).

The man is believed to be about 75 years old. He was last seen wearing a black hat and coat.

Anyone with information about him is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
