NYC LOCAL NEWS: A man who groped a woman at a Harlem bus stop is being sought by police. The NYPD released surveillance video of the alleged suspect who, according to cops, got back on the bus after the assault.

At around 3 pm on October 29, a 30-year-old woman was waiting at a bus stop for the M116 at Frederick Douglass Boulevard and West 116th Street. Cops said a man walked up to her and, without saying a word, grabbed her crotch. 

The victim ran away looking for help. However, the alleged suspect waited for the M116 bus and got on, cops said. He got off a short time later at East 116th Street and Madison Avenue, then took off on foot. 

The NYPD released surveillance video of the suspect from inside the bus. The suspect is described as a male who has a medium complexion. He is 5 foot 4 and weighs around 180 pounds. He was last seen wearing a blue baseball cap, gray hooded sweatshirt, gray jeans, and white sneakers.
