Passenger on a Brooklyn bus masturbates in view of a teen: police report
In a shocking incident that occurred on Sunday afternoon, a pervert allegedly pleasured himself on a B68 bus as it travelled along Coney Island Avenue and Crawford Avenue in Brooklyn. The victim of this disturbing act was an 18-year-old female bus rider.
The suspect, described as a male with a medium complexion, was last seen wearing a blue hat, black sunglasses, a blue T-shirt, blue shorts, and black and white sneakers. He sat across from the victim on the bus, and while staring at her, he reportedly began touching his penis over his shorts.
