A bus dispatcher was arrested for allegedly sexually abusing a woman on a subway train this weekend, police said.
The arrest came just days after a study was released in which more than 1,000 women complained about subway sex abuse.
The dispatcher, Glenn Jones, 37, who has worked for the Metropolitan Transit Authority since 1997, allegedly rubbed against a 30-year-old woman on the uptown 4 train near Grand Central Station at about 2 p.m. on Saturday, police officials said yesterday.
They said plainclothes police officers riding in the same car spotted Mr. Jones and arrested him. Last week, Manhattan’s president, Scott Stringer, published findings from a survey in which about 1,200 women out of 1,800 said they had experienced sexual harassment on the subways and 10% said they had been sexually assaulted.
