Jose Velasquez, 67, was arrested around 5 o'clock at Stony Brook - police say that after he and the woman got off at Forest Hills, he got on an inbound train. Police were waiting at Stony Brook because the woman had called Transit Police on her cell phone as they approached Forest Hills:

... As the train was stopped in between Green Street station and Forest Hills station, a man next to her said "Hey baby you're beautiful" and started to rubs his hand on the right side of her body. She told the man not to touch her and to leave her alone. The man then started to rub her left knee and thigh. She again told him not to ever touch her again. The man again started to rub her right side. The victim stood up and attempted to move away from the man. As she stood up the man then grabbed her buttocks. The victim then called Transit Police on her cell phone. After getting off the train at Forest Hills, she met with Inspector [Redacted] telling him what had transpired and also pointing out the man who at this time had move to an outbound Orange line train. ...
