MIDTOWN MANHATTAN (WABC) -- An alleged groping suspect apparently picked the wrong woman to target.

The suspect is described as a Hispanic man, 20 to 30 years old, 5'6" to 5'8" tall, approximately 225 pounds, with eyeglasses. He was last seen wearing a green shirt, black shorts and black sneakers.

Anyone with information in regards 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).
