A teenage girl had the absolute worst bus experience last month.

Police say a sexual assault occurred on a Bx9 bus on Friday, October 23rd, at around 8 a.m., when it was near East Kingsbridge Road and Grand Concourse: A male suspect "exposed himself to a 16-year-old female victim by placing his private part on her wrist."

What the fuck.

The victim was not injured, and police released video of the suspect, who is described as about 5'8" and 200 pounds, and was last seen wearing a beige sweater, collared shirt underneath, light blue jeans and an over the shoulder bag.

Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website at WWW.NYPDCRIMESTOPPERS.COM or by texting their tips to 274637 (CRIMES) then enter TIP577.

If you see someone masturbating, flashing or committing other indecent acts, the MTA's website has a place for riders to report subway or bus misconduct and even a place for riders to submit images. Reporting mass transit masturbators is important, but also consider your safety.
