BRONX- An 11-year-old girl riding home from school on the subway was sexually assaulted by a knife wielding sicko near Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, cops say. 


At around 3:30 pm on October 18, an 11-year-old girl was riding home from school on a northbound Number 4 train. As the train approached East 149th Street and the Grand Concourse she was approached by a bald man in his 40s. 


The man pulled out a knife and told her in Spanish to be quiet. With a knife in one hand, he used his free hand to stroke the child’s leg, waist and buttocks as she sat terrified. 




When the train pulled into the 161st Street and Yankee Stadium station, the attacker fled the train subway car. It is unclear what direction the man fled to. And so far no subway surveillance video has been released.





Cops say the girl did not sustain any physical injuries.




The NYPD was able to create a sketch of the suspect and released it in the hopes of catching the sicko before he strikes again. The sexual assault suspect is described as a bald man in his 40s who is five feet tall. 


Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
