Creepy masturbator (50s-60s) outside 4th Ave/9th St R Station
Hi everyone! This should come as no surprise, but I wanted to warn folks (particularly fellow women and girls residing in the neighborhood) about a creep I encountered today. As I was approaching the 4th Ave 9th St (NE corner) R entrance around 2:15 pm today, there was an older white man (heavy-set, roughly 5’8”, likely in his 50s-60s, scruffy looking white hair that was slightly past his ears, and wearing a backwards baseball cap) standing outside the entrance masturbating and staring directly at me. I screamed “fuck you” at him and immediately ran into the station and reported him to the MTA worker there, but when she went upstairs to try to take a photo of him, he had run away. Unfortunately I was in shock so I didn’t think to take a photo or video until it was too late, but I’m planning to report this to the police as soon as I get home. I’m not counting on them actually doing anything about this, but I figure it doesn’t hurt lol.
Please stay safe out there everyone!
