A man has been caught on camera stalking an MTA worker in a Brooklyn subway station. The repeat offender is believed to have been showing up at the same Brooklyn subway station to harass the MTA employee, police said Thursday, according to New York Daily News.

According to New York Daily News, the man visited the 33-year-old woman between April 3 and 11 while she was working on the mezzanine level of the Parkside Avenue Q train station in Prospect Leffert Gardens, cops said.

Cell phone video shows the man walking up to the woman and then pressing his hand against the glass and pointing at her.

An NYPD statement said his visits were meant to “intentionally and repeatedly” put the woman in fear for her safety, according to New York Daily News.

 “Stalking transit workers is unacceptable and endangers their safety. Incidents like this are why we appreciate Mayor Adams’ and Police Commissioner (Keechant) Sewell’s commitment to having visibly deployed law enforcement in the subway system keeping riders and MTA workers safe,” MTA spokesman Sean Butler said Thursday, according to New York Daily News.

Police said the suspect is about 40 years old, 6-foot-2 and 240 pounds, with a medium build, a dark complexion, brown eyes and short black hair. He wore dark clothing and a black winter hat.

Cops are asking anyone with information about the man to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS.
