Finally

New York’s finest are currently hunting a “smirking sicko” who, having exposed himself on the city’s subway to a 22-year-old web developer, found himself exposed across cyberspace and the NY Daily News after the quick-thinking victim snapped him on her mobe’s* camera.

On 19 August, Thao Nguyen was at the receiving end of the unwanted attentions of the “degenerate” (NYDN’s choice of words - good show) when travelling on the subway in Manhattan after a job interview. According to the Daily News, she claims “a middle-aged, blond-haired man dressed in a black shirt and jeans sat down across from her”.

Nguyen takes up the story: “He kept staring at me. I could feel his eyes on me. I wanted to avoid eye contact so I looked away, but I could see his reflection in the window. I saw him massaging himself and then he unzipped and pulled it out. I thought, ‘I can’t believe he’s doing this in the middle of the day!’

“I turned on the camera. He was still masturbating. I aimed it and quickly took the shot. As soon as I took it, he zipped up and got off the train,” Nguyen explains.

It ends up the guy runs a health food store…. think about that for a minute!
