BRONX - Cops are looking for a man who sexually assaulted a woman on a Bronx bus on Pelham Parkway. 

Police released surveillance video of the suspect who was seen on video wearing headphones and a Du-Rag, who investigators said, stayed on the bus after allegedly sexually assaulting a rider. 

According to investigators, a 28-year-old woman was riding on a BX12 bus near the White Plains Road Business Improvement District. At the corner of Pelham Parkway and White Plains Road, the man walked up behind the female straphanger who was standing. Police said the man then began to rub his erect penis on the victim’s buttocks. 

The female straphanger fled and jumped off the bus. She told police that her attacker remained on the bus. It is unclear when the suspect exited the bus. 

The victim did not sustain any physical injuries in the assault. 

Cops used cameras on the bus to find a suspect. He is described as a man with a medium complexion who is between the ages of 18 and 25. He has a medium build and was seen wearing old school large black headphones. He was last seen wearing a black t-shirt with lettering in the front, blue shorts, white sneakers, black Du-Rag, and carrying a black book bag.
