Another day, another awful story and video of a man touching himself on the subway. Meet Monique Henry, a baker whose commute from Queens to Brooklyn and back early this morning got decidedly gross when, after transferring from the Queens-bound F to the D train at Rock Center this morning, "a middle aged hispanic man" dressed "in a rumpled, cheap looking suit, and [carrying] a Jet magazine" got on the train and sat next to her. At first she didn't think anything of him and started to doze off. So when she woke up in Queens, imagine her surprise to find the man had moved across from her and, well, this is what she saw: more ›

Have you been sexually assaulted on the subway? Join the club. Though the NYPD says there are about 600 reported incidents of sexual assault on the subway a year, they estimate that the real number is in the thousands. NYPD Transit Bureau Chief James Hall told the Daily News, "In my mind, it's the No. 1 quality-of-life offense on the subway." Where does nail-clipping rank? more ›

Last week, the Daily News published a cameraphone photograph of an alleged subway pervert: "The sicko with the 1980s 'do grabbed the buttocks of a 21-year-old Asian woman as she waited for an E train at the Steinway St. station in Queens about 12:40 a.m. last Saturday, police said." The victim followed the man, described as Latino, around 5'5" and 160 pounds, onto the train to take the picture. Well, one Daily News reader emailed NYPD Crimestoppers, "I saw it on the Daily News website... The picture of the man you are looking for I have identified as a man in my neighborhood." Javier Zempalteca was arrested yesterday for third-degree sexual assault. more ›

According to the Daily News, "The sicko sat across from the teen on a Queens-bound G train at the Woodhaven Blvd. station in Elmhurst on Nov. 7 at about 3a.m., cops said.

No, it's not deja vu—it is another grainy photograph of a man suspected of pleasuring himself on the subway! According to the police, "On July 30, a man, believed to be in his late teens to early 20s, began masturbating on a southbound D train at the 36th Street subway station around 6 a.m. before fleeing at the 9th Avenue station"—he apparently sat next to the woman who later took his photo—"Around 12:40, the same man stole a cell phone from a commuter on a northbound F train and fled at the 18th Avenue subway station." The police urge people with information to call Crime Stoppers (800-577-TIPS), go to the Crime Stoppers website or text 274637 (CRIMES) then enter TIP577. Last week's accused subway perv admitted his business was in the open, but "explained", "My private parts fell out. I looked down and it was out, it just popped out. I was trying to put it back." more ›

After his picture was released by the police on Wednesday, the 3 train's suspected subway masturbator was arrested yesterday—by two cops who recognized him from the wanted posters. And guess how Kevin Bishop, 34, who has 64 prior arrests explained his actions? According to the court documents, he admitted to the police, "That's me in the pictures, my private parts fell out. I looked down and it was out, it just popped out. I was trying to put it back... I deeply apologize for what happened. I do admit the whole truth." He is being held on $1,500 bail. Administrative assistant Celeana White had taken a cellphone photograph, which detectives say is one of the best ever (quality-wise, we guess) cellphone pictures given to them. As for White's claim that a cop told her a subway flashing wasn't a police matter and suggested she call 311 instead, the Post reports the cop "admitted she told the woman to call 311, but insists she really meant to say 911" (according to Post sources). more ›

The police have released a photograph of a man who was allegedly masturbating on an uptown 3 train last week. A 41-year-old woman took a cellphone picture of the man she claims was pleasuring himself in front of her. The man got on the train at 42nd Street/Times Square at 3:45 p.m. and then got out at the 96th Street stop. And 1010WINS adds, "The woman says she tried to lodge a complaint at the 32nd Precinct and provide police there with the suspect's photograph but was apparently rebuffed by an officer who, according to the complainant, told her it was not a police matter and to report it through 311." The police urge people with information to call Crime Stoppers (800-577-TIPS), go to the Crime Stoppers website or text 274637 (CRIMES) then enter TIP577. And Internal Affairs is looking into the "not a police matter" part. more ›

Though undercover cops recently arrested one pervert, there never seems to be a shortage! Take this terrible story recounted on HollaBack. A reader said that on a D train this morning, between Atlantic-Pacific and Grand, "I was napping with my iPod on, and I woke up because I felt something repeatedly hitting and rubbing up to my arm. When I looked down, I saw an uncircumcised penis being masturbated right on top of my arm. Luckily, he hadn't finished yet. (Though the police mentioned that it would have been better to have DNA evidence. Ew.) I immediately screamed something like 'OH MY GOD, GET OFF OF ME YOU SICK MOTHERFUCKER!' At that point, the man mumbled something like 'sorry' and walked quickly through the crowd to the other side of the train. I was stunned that no one tried to stop him, and even shifted to let him through. I screamed again 'DID ANYONE SEE THAT? THAT ASSHOLE WAS MASTURBATING ON ME!'" (Read the full story here.)The HollaBack reader took the man's photograph while he pretended to be asleep and reported him to the cops, but because he's still at large, a happy, um, ending remains elusive. more ›
