The 25-year-old woman was at Sussex and Greene streets at 11:23 p.m. when a man grabbed her breast and then ran away, heading north on Greene Street, reports said.

The suspect is described as being about 20-years-old and about 5 feet 8 inches tall, reports said. He is of slim build with dark hair and was wearing a white T-shirt and carrying a dark colored bag over his shoulder, reports said.

Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call the Jersey City police tip line at (201) 547-JAIL.
