Police are looking for a subway pervert who they say exposed and touched himself on a train in Brooklyn this week. The incident happened on Wednesday on the southbound 2 Train at the Atlantic Avenue Subway Station. The suspect allegedly exposed himself to a 28-year-old woman, then started touching himself.
The suspect is said to be 30-40, bald, medium build, and was wearing a black and white shirt. The woman exited the train car at the next stop after capturing cell phone video of him—unfortunately, police didn't send out the video, so we can't publicly shame the suspect with it. But at least you can keep an eye out for him, and hopefully we won't have another situation where a man ejaculates on multiple female subway passengers in crowded train cars and gets away with just a slap on the wrist.
