"Pervert Shocks City"
Yesterday, in midtown,
and at the height of the afternoon rush hour,
hundreds of innocent people were shocked by a flasher.
He stood at the curb in front of the city’s busiest bus stop,
turned to face the crowd,
opened his raincoat
and exposed himself to all.
An elderly lady
who had been standing on a bus bench to see,
called 911.
By the time the police arrived
the pervert had disappeared into the crowd.
Police Sgt. Stan Jablonski told reporters
that the culprit could be any one of the group still at the scene.
He had this to say:
“We could not make an arrest
because none of the witnesses got a look at his face.”
