Police are looking for a man who they say groped a woman inside a Manhattan apartment early Thursday morning.

Around 5 a.m. investigators say the man went into a building near Hudson Street and West 10 Street in the West Village.

Once inside, they say the man went to the rear of the building, climbed a fire escape and went into an apartment on the second floor. 

Police say he then allegedly groped a 43-year-old woman while she was sleeping and ran off.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call Crimestoppers by calling 1-800-577-TIPS, by texting TIP577 to CRIMES, or by going to NYPDCrimeStoppers.com.
