“Flasher near Lincoln Park SE”

“Dear PoPville,

(Thursday, 8/18) I was walking on North Carolina Ave SE near Lincoln Park when a man approached me and started asking me questions in rapid succession. I tried to walk away from him but he persisted. After 2-3 minutes of having him walk next to me asking slightly obtrusive questions, I told him I was in a hurry and sped up to get some distance on him. When I reached 10th and North Carolina I decided to turn north and hope he continued down North Carolina Ave. At first it seemed like my plan had worked, but within 30 seconds I realized that he was walking behind me still, but with about 50 feet between us. He started shouting “Hey! Hey!” at me and as I turned around I realized he was running towards me.

He had both hands in his pocket and I wasn’t sure if he had a weapon. As he got closer I realized he had his penis out. I jumped into the traffic lane on 10th street and shouted. He stopped on the sidewalk near me and started shouting back at me. I pulled out my camera and that scared him enough to get him to go away. This was around 6:24pm at 10th and N Carolina SE. He was 25-35 years old. Black, Ethiopian man (he told me he was Ethiopian) wearing black adidas track pants, back pack, a black tshirt and brown or gray shoes. He was slender build and around 5’8″. I just want folks in the area to be aware this guy is out there.

The photo (above) is of the dude running away fromme when I said I was taking his photo.”
