Alleged subway creep identified as IT worker for comptroller
An IT worker in Comptroller Scott Stringer’s office was arrested at work Friday after one of his colleges recognized him as a wanted subway creep, officials said.
Raza Qaisar, 59, faces charges of forcible touching for allegedly fondling the backside of a fellow passenger on a No. 7 train Sept. 27, according to cops.
The NYPD on Wednesday released the photo that led to the man’s arrest.
“After seeing the photo in media reports, a member of our staff alerted office leadership, who contacted the NYPD,” a Stringer spokesman said. “We are currently undertaking a review of this matter.”
Qaisar, who earns $53,560 a year, has no prior arrests, police said.
