The suspect is seen in surveillance camera footage wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt, black shorts and black sneakers.

Anyone with information in regards to the identity of the suspect is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or submit their tips by logging onto the CrimeStoppers website at www.nypdcrimestoppers.com
