The New York Police Department is seeking the public's assistance in locating a man wanted in connection with an assault that took place on a Bronx subway train last month. According to a social media post by NYPD Crimestoppers, the incident occurred on a northbound "2" train near Grand Concourse and East 149 Street, at approximately 1:30 a.m. on July 26.
The victim, a 64-year-old woman, was reportedly attacked after she requested the individual, who was smoking a cigarette across from her on the moving train, to put out the cigarette, leading to the suspect punching her multiple times in the body, said the authorities.
