Teenage twin sisters claim they were both groped by the SAME man on the New York subway five years apart.

Twin sisters were groped by the same man on the Subway nearly five years apart, police have said.

 

The New York Police Department (NYPD) are looking for the alleged serial attacker, saying he molested an 18-year-old woman.

 

He is the same man who supposedly targeted the latest victim's sister five years ago, when she was just 13.

The department posted two photographs of the man on Twitter Monday in a bid to track him down. 

 

Police in New York City are trying to find an alleged repeat subway groper (pictured above). Cops say he assaulted two twin sisters in separate incidents - five years apart,

Police tweeted: 'Help ID this man in his 40's WANTED for forcibly touching women on subway trains in Manhattan. Call #800577TIPS with info. @NYPDTransit.' 

 

The sources told the New York Daily News the man was on a 1 train at Times Square on September 9 when he rubbed an 18-year-old's inner thigh.

They added that the woman's sister looked at a picture and determined the man rubbed her thigh back when she was a 13-year-old girl.

 

The report said she was groped on the 1 train at the 110th Street subway station at some point between 2011 and 2012. 

Police think the suspect rubbed a 24-year-old's outer thigh on September 19 on a 1 train at the 66th Street station, the newspaper reported.
