City Worker Busted For Snapping Upskirt Pic In Rego Center: NYPD

FOREST HILLS, QUEENS -- A Forest Hills city employee was arrested after surveillance footage shared on social media allegedly showed him snapping a photo up a woman's skirt, police said.

Eduardo Pinzon, a 42-year-old employee with the city's Department of Environmental Protection, was arrested at about 4 p.m. Thursday after he tried to sneak the upskirt photo of a 26-year-old woman inside a Burlington Coat Factory at the Rego Center mall on Monday evening, police said.

In a Facebook post that has since been deleted, the woman's sister shared a video of surveillance footage that shows a man shove what appeared to be a cameraphone under her skirt, followed by a photo she took of the man up close after the two confronted him.

“I feel violated,” the woman, identified as Edjelyn Gamboa, told CBS2. “I saw a light went off behind me and he’s holding his phone on camera mode.”

Her sister Edalyln Estrada, who originally posted the video online, told the news station when she and her sister called him out on the photo, the man first denied taking it but ran out of the store when they threatened to check the store's surveillance footage.

Estrada's post quickly spread online through via Reddit and local Facebook groups, and residents were outraged.

"Omg that’s f-----g sick," wrote one commenter in a Forest Hills/Rego Park/Kew Gardens community group. "If that was my mother or a female relative god forbid. That dude wouldn’t be walking right now."

Other commenters had similar choice words for the alleged upskirt photographer, calling him a "pig" and a douchebag."

Pinzon was charged with unlawful surveillance.
