Pervert Wearing Nothing But T-Shirt Flashes Women On R Train, Police Say

Police are searching for a man who has flashed three women on Manhattan R trains, authorities said.

TRIBECA, NY — A creepy subway rider has flashed himself to three different women on Manhattan subway trains, police said.

Officers are searching for the man who exposes his genitals on Manhattan R trains, authorities say. Surveillance footage released by the NYPD shows the man apparently wearing an oversized camouflage shirt and nothing else.

The man's flashing spree started on Aug. 16 when he exposed himself to two different women on the R train at different times in the day. Both women told police that they noticed the man sitting in a nearby seat with an "exposed groin area," authorities said.
