Masked, Naked Man Accosting South Brunswick Women For 4 Months: Police

SOUTH BRUNSWICK, NJ – A masked and naked man has been accosting women for the past four months at an apartment complex and trail and authorities are looking to the public to help catch him, South Brunswick police said.

The man approaches women completely naked “while he aggressively manipulates his waist area,” police said.

All of the women have told police that the only thing the man wears is a ski mask covering his face.

The incidents have all taken place in the Royal Oaks Apartment Complex and adjacent trail.

According to police, there have been five incidents since July with the latest taking place on Tuesday.

No Longer Nocturnal Events

Authorities have now released pictures of the man and are seeking public help to identify him as he has begun approaching women during the day.

“We are concerned that the suspect now is confronting women in broad daylight,” Det. Sgt. Timothy Hoover said. “His previous incidents all took place between 11 p.m. and 12:30 a.m. under the cover of darkness. Yesterday’s incident took place at 4:30 p.m.”

The suspect is described as a black male, 5’10 to 6 feet tall, medium build, with long dreadlocks.

Police believe there may be other unreported incidents.

“We are trying to connect all the incidents to develop additional leads,” Hoover said. All the incidents took place off Henderson Road between Route 1 and Blackhorse Lane.

“We are asking residents of the area to check their Ring doorbell cameras to see if anything was captured yesterday afternoon. Based on some of the images we have already seen, we believe the suspect may workout and we are asking area gyms to take a look at the images we are releasing,” Hoover said.

Authorities released two images - one with a front profile and one showing his side profile. Both photos are attached to this post.

Anyone with information should contact South Brunswick Police Detective Bureau at (732) 329- 4000 ext. 7469.
