NYPD

Police are looking for a man who they believe socked a subway conductor from the platform of the DeKalb Avenue station on Nov. 29.

The conductor of a Q train said he pulled into the station at 6:25 am and was at the train’s window when the suspect walked and punched him in the face without warning. The guy then fled, cops said.

The authorities have released a photo of the suspect leaving the station and are asking the public for help identifying him. Officers describe him as between 30 and 40-years-old, 5-foot-6, and with black hair.

Law enforcement officials ask people with information about the crime or suspect to call (800) 577–8477, submit tips at www.nypdc‌rimes‌toppe‌rs.com, or text-message them to 274637, then enter “TIP577”.
