Police are searching for a good-for-nothing who they said grabbed a 16-year-old girl’s rear while aboard a D train on Nov. 6.

The teenage straphanger told cops she was riding the Manhattan-bound Orange bullet somewhere between the 36th Street and Atlantic Avenue stations when the 60-year-old suspect groped her buttocks.

The victim managed to snap a photo of the alleged creep before he exited the subway at Atlantic Avenue station and fled, according to a report.

Authorities described the suspect as approximately 5-foot-7 and 230 pounds, with salt-and-pepper hair and a tattoo of three tear drops below his left eye.
