Police tape is used to block subway turnstiles at a transit crime scene. In a different subway incident, on a downtown No. 6 train in Manhattan Tuesday, a man in his 60s was charged with pleasuring himself by rubbing his genitals against a female straphanger standing next to him.
A sicko straphanger was charged Wednesday with pleasuring himself by rubbing his genitals against the back of a woman standing next to him on a crowded rush-hour No. 6 train.
The 40-year-old Bronx woman told the Daily News she was so grossed out she left her soiled jacket at the police station.
She said the train, rumbling near Union Square about 8:40 a.m. Tuesday, was crammed with people and she couldn’t tell what was happening — at first.
“I didn’t realize what he was doing,” said the traumatized victim, whose name The News is withholding. “It was so crowded ... I felt weird because I couldn’t do anything.”
“He was behind me,” she added. “He apologized twice for bumping into me.”
Transit cops spotted Gerald Ginsberg, 62, of Kips Bay, amid the disgusting scene, and collared him, court records show. Ginsberg repeatedly rubbed his genitals against the woman’s rear end, the court papers say.
He was arraigned Wednesday on charges of third-degree sexual abuse, public lewdness and forcible touching. He faces up to a year in jail.
A prosecutor requested he be held in lieu of $500 bail, but a judge released him on his own recognizance. He is due back in court in March.
