Police released on Tuesday
night video of a man who
flashed his genitals at a
12-year-old girl on a Ridgewood
street earlier this month.
Law enforcement sources said
the incident occurred at 4 p.m.
on Oct. 2 in the vicinity of Seneca
Avenue and Stephen Street.
According to authorities, the
12-year-old victim was walking
through the area when she was approached
by the suspect, who asked
her for a piece of paper. She then
removed a slip of paper from her backpack,
and when she turned around,
she saw that the man had dropped his
pants and exposed his genitals.
Police said the perpetrator took
off in an unknown direction; the
girl ran home and told her mother,
who contacted the 104th Precinct.
The NYPD described the suspect as a
Hispanic male with a light complexion
believed to be between 18 and 25 years
of age, with a muscular build and dark
hair. He was last seen wearing a black
jacket with white stripes down the arms
and blue jeans, and riding a bicycle.

the creep’s whereabouts
