Cops are hunting for a creep who shoved a 15-year-old girl to the ground, then forcibly kissed and groped her before stealing her phone at an L-train station earlier this month.
The girl was standing on the northbound platform at the Halsey Street station on Feb. 9 just after 9:30 p.m. when a stranger approached her, police said.
The man “pushed the victim to the ground and then picked her up” inside the station, which is on the border of Ridgewood, Queens and Bushwick, Brooklyn, according to cops.
He then “proceeded to forcibly kiss the victim on the face and touch her intimate parts over her clothing before forcibly removing her cellphone,” police said.
Police described the perv as a 30-year-old man with a dark complexion, curly hair and facial hair.
He was last seen running out of the subway station wearing a black hooded jacket with stripes along the arms, black pants and light-colored sneakers.
The girl was not injured in the assault and robbery.
Anyone with information related to the incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or submit tips on the Crime Stoppers website, on Twitter @NYPDTips.
