A passerby intervened and the man fled the station.
Investigators describe the man as being between five-foot-seven-inches and five-foot-eight-inches tall, in his 20s with a medium build.
“The man was wearing a blue Dallas Mavericks Michael Finley jersey, beige shorts, slippers and a red baseball cap,” police said in a news release Saturday. “He was also wearing dark sunglasses and had on white wireless earbuds.”
