Police are asking for the public's help finding a suspect who they say groped a teen at a Queens library.

Authorities say the man approached a 15-year-old girl at the Queens Public Library in Astoria on Monday.

They say he forcibly touched her and exposed himself before she ran away.

The suspect is described as 40 to 45 years old.

He was seen wearing a tan jacket, gray hat, black shirt and blue jeans.
