NYPD looking for man connected to subway menacing

NEW YORK (AP) — Authorities are looking to question a man in connection to a menacing incident on a New York City subway train.

A woman told police she was on the Manhattan-bound E train coming from Queens on Friday morning when a man sat next to her and threatened to slap her.

The woman moved, and told authorities the man then approached her and lifted his shirt to show the handle of a gun. The 33-year-old woman got off the train, and the man stayed on.

Authorities said the man was described as in his 30s, six feet tall, wearing black jeans and a green jacket.
