Police say the suspect, seen above, grabbed the eight-year-old's wrist at the intersection of Broadway and 37 Street in Astoria around 8 a.m.

The suspect is described as being between 30 and 40 years old with a height of 5-feet-10-inches to six-feet tall.

Investigators say he has a thin build and was last seen wearing a beige baseball hat and long gray overcoat.
