Police said a 24-year-old woman was on a northbound ‘4’ train on November 17 when an unknown individual sat next to her.

The individual groped the woman and tried to pull her skirt down, police said. The woman tried to flee to another train car to safety, police said.

The suspect got off the train at the Bowling Green subway station and boarded a ferry to Staten Island.

It was not immediately clear if Tapia had retained an attorney who could speak on his behalf.

Police are asking anyone with information about this incident to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-8477.
