A New York City woman has struck a blow for female subway riders everywhere by catching a flasher in the act with her camera phone.
Twenty-two-year-old Thao Nguyen was riding the R train on Aug. 18 when the man sitting across from her decided to give her a little show. Nguyen, refusing to be flustering, one-upped the perv by pulling out her 1.3 megapixel Samsung P777 camera phone and snapping a clear image of the man.
Nguyen said the man quickly zipped up and left the train, but Nguyen wasn’t done. She uploaded the photo and her story to Flickr. They were quickly snapped up by the New York Daily News, which gave the perv his 15 minutes of fame on the front page last week.
Nguyen and NYC police are hoping someone will recognize the flasher and turn him in. Nguyen’s account of the story, complete with the picture (warning), are here.
Here’s the NY Daily News’ take.
