Police said the incident happened on board an Upper West Side-bound Q train near the City Hall Station at about 6:26 a.m. on Oct. 2.
According to law enforcement sources, the perpetrator approached the victim, then rubbed her leg and grabbed her buttocks. After being groped, the victim moved away from the creep, who eventually departed the train at the 14th Street/Union Square station.

As shown in security camera footage released on Saturday, the suspect has a dark complexion and a long beard. He was last seen wearing a black hair covering, a navy blue jacket and black pants while carrying a black backpack.
