NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- A subway rider has complained that a police officer turned her away when she tried to report that a man had flashed her on a Manhattan train.
The 41-year-old woman snapped a cell phone picture of a man she says began masturbating in front of her on a northbound number 3 train. She told police the man boarded the train at 42nd St. around 3:45 p.m. on Aug. 7 and exited at Broadway and 96th St.
When she later went to the 32nd Precinct to report it, she claims the uniformed officer told her it wasn't a police matter and to call the city's 311 non-emergency hot line.
The NYPD said on Wednesday that the internal affairs unit is looking into the matter.
Anyone with information is asked to call NYPD Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS. 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.
