Man Groped Girl's Thigh on Subway Twice in 2 Weeks: NYPD

Police are on the hunt for a man they say inappropriately touched a 13-year-old girl’s leg on the subway two separate times.

The unknown man was riding the 7 train in Queens last month when he forcibly touched the girl’s inner thigh as the subway was entering the Queensboro Plaza station in Long Island City, according to the NYPD.

Police say the same man struck again two weeks later on the 5 train at the 86th Street station in Manhattan, where he once again touched the girl’s thigh.

The suspect left the train several stops later. Officials said they are not sure if he is following the teenager or they happen to have the same morning commute.
