A subway conductor helped a straphanger escape a sicko (police sketch of suspect) who exposed himself on a No. 4 train and put his hands on her, police said.
The victim, 21, was on board the train near the Saratoga Avenue station in Brownsville at about 3 a.m. on May 15 when a man began chatting her up, then exposed himself, cops said.
When she ignored him, he became belligerent and shoved her against a train-car door, trapping her until it opened in the station and she fled, authorities said.
She ran toward the conductor’s compartment with the suspect pursuing her — and he reopened the doors to let her back in, then closed them again to lock out the attacker, cops added.
The perv fled the station onto Livonia Street.
The suspect is in his late 20s, about 120 pounds and nearly 6 feet tall, cops said.
He was wearing a blue, waist-length windbreaker and dark blue jeans.
