Police in Brooklyn are seeking a suspect accused of sexually abusing a 19-year-old woman during her early-morning commute on a southbound 2 train. The alleged incident occurred around 5 a.m. before the train reached the Flatbush Avenue-Brooklyn College terminal.

Investigators are asking riders who were on the train to provide clues, including any video or photos, and to preserve digital files rather than post them online. Tips can be submitted anonymously through NYPD Crime Stoppers, and may qualify for a reward if they lead to an arrest.
