Police are looking for an "extremely short" suspect who is wanted in connection with a sexual assault on a train in Brooklyn last month. The incident happened on a J train at Broadway Junction in Brownsville around 2:45 p.m. on Monday, January 6th. The suspect, who police describe as "extremely short in stature," allegedly grabbed the butt of a 36-year-old woman, then fled.

The suspect, who you can see in the photo insert above right, was wearing white pants, an "I ♥ New York" black hooded sweatshirt, and a white baseball cap. The Post, ever classy, simply describes the suspect as a "dwarf."

Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS. The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers Website or texting their tips to 274637(CRIMES) then enter TIP577.
