Search on for Man Groping Women At Subway Stations

by KYW's John McDevitt
Philadelphia police are warning the public about a series of attacks on women at two Broad Street line subway stations in South Philadelphia.
Police say that since April 25th four women were grabbed and fondled -- one at the Ellsworth-Federal station, three others at the Tasker-Morris station.
The latest incident happened Wednesday, when the victim was thrown to the ground.
Lt. Tom McDevitt, with the Special Victims Unit, says video surveillance may have caught an image of the suspect:
"In each incident you have a female that enters the subway station platform. As she is walking towards the concourse, not yet where the trains are at, but in the concourse, she is attacked by a male. He either gropes her buttocks, her breasts, or tries to take her pants off as he runs up behind her."
No one was physically hurt. Officials say the attacks happened in the daytime between 12 noon and 5pm.
