NEW YORK — A man sexually assaulted a plainclothes officer in a crowded subway car Wednesday, NBC New York reported.
The incident occurred when a group of undercover officers on the transit anti-crime unit boarded a train at Grand Central Terminal station in the evening. While the train was moving, a 39-year-old man approached one of the female officers, then pressed and rubbed his groin on her.
The officer pushed the man away.
When she got off the train, she noticed he had an erection, authorities told the publication.
The suspect, identified as Javier Monroy, was charged with forcible touching and sexual abuse.
