Police say the man masturbated in front of a woman aboard an R train.

   A young woman, the victim of a man who exposed himself to her during a
   Friday morning subway commute, managed to snap a picture of him before
   leaving the train, officials said.

   With the R train rumbling toward the Lexington Ave./59th St. station
   around 8:30 a.m., the 27-year-old woman saw the man rubbing his exposed
   erection, officials said.

   The victim’s picture shows the man in the act. He is a bearded black
   man in blue jeans, a plaid shirt, blue and red vest and a black knit
   cap.

   If apprehended, the man faces public lewdness charges officials said.

   Anyone with information regarding the man’s whereabouts is urged to
   call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept
   confidential.
