New York City police are asking for the public's help in locating a suspect wanted in connection with the sexual abuse of a woman last week in a Brooklyn subway station.

Police on Saturday released a photo of the man who is accused of approaching a 21-year-old woman from behind while she was buying a metro card and rubbing himself against her. He also licked her neck and back before fleeing, police said.

The incident occurred at about 3 p.m. on Aug. 29 at the Utica Avenue and Eastern Parkway station in the Crown Heights neighborhood.

The man is described as being about sex feet tall and weighing 290 pounds.
