Investigators are hoping the public can help identify a man who exposed his genitals to girls in three different incidents on St. Patrick's Day in Brooklyn. The NYPD has distributed photographs of the white truck he was driving.
According to the NYPD's statement, all the incidents happened before 8 a.m.
At 7:25 a.m., the suspect got out of his truck and approached an 11-year-old girl waiting for her school bus at West 9th Street and Avenue O. He spoke to her, exposed his genitals and then fled.
At 7:30 a.m., the suspect got out of his truck and followed a 14-year-old girl who went to a friend's apartment building at West 7th Street and Bay Parkway. Inside, he tried to speak to the girl and exposed his genitals. The victim ran up the stairs and into her friend's apartment.
At 7:40 a.m., he got out of his truck and approached a 13-year-old girl who was walking near West 6th Street and 65 Street. He tried to speak to her and exposed his genitals.
The police describe the suspect as a heavy set Hispanic male who is in his 30s, with a thin beard, pock-marked face. He was last seen wearing a grey jacket and black boots and driving a white Ford F-150 with 2 bumper stickers (unknown message) affixed to the rear of the vehicle and possible damage to the rear passenger tail light and body.
Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS. The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers Website at WWW.NYPDCRIMESTOPPERS.COM or texting their tips to 274637(CRIMES) then enter TIP577.
