Caught on video: Suspects wanted for groping women in the subway
NEW YORK - Police are searching for two suspects wanted in separate assaults on women in the subway.

Police said a 20-year-old woman was walking inside the Carroll Street subway station in Brooklyn when the suspect approached her from behind and groped her.

Police are also searching for a man accused of assaulting a woman at a subway station in Lower Manhattan at around 5:30 p.m. Friday.
The woman, 61, was walking on the platform at the Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall station when she told police a stranger sitting on a bench reached out and forcibly touched her.
The woman fled the station in fear for her safety.
