Cops: Public Masturbator Flees to Cemetery

Lower Merion police reported Monday that two women saw a man without pants masturbating at the Barmouth station of the Cynwyd Heritage Trail about 3:15 p.m. Thursday, May 31.

The man was shouting and standing on the rock wall between the trail and West Laurel Hill Cemetery, "masturbating furiously," the women told police.

When the women yelled that they were calling police, the man ran into the cemetery, police said. The stocky man, standing 5-foot-10 to 6 feet tall, wore a cap over his face.

Anyone with information about the incident can call police at 610-649-1000.
