Girls snap cell phone photo in subway and run for cops
'A subway pervert was caught in a flash yesterday by feisty Catholic schoolgirls armed with a cell phone camera in Queens, cops and witnesses said.
The suspect sicko flashed the teens twice last week as they rode the F train toward their high school in Jamaica Estates.
He got away - but made the mistake of lurking inside the 179th St. station yesterday just as the girls stepped off the train at 7:30 a.m.
Terrified, but determined to get the creep arrested, one of the girls snapped his photo with her cell phone and ran to NYPD Officer Vincent Tieniber for help, police sources said.
“The cop looked at the picture, ran down to the platform and spots the guy getting on a train,” a high-ranking police source said.
“He grabs him and takes him upstairs where the girl IDs him,” the source said. “A little bit of new-age policing.”'
