The New York Daily News has news of a flasher in Park Slope. I didn’t hear about this until this morning. Then again, I am out of town. So I’m not getting the news from the Avenue. Here’s the Daily News on the story. The incident occurred in early July.

The man exposed himself to a 14-year-old girl after pushing his way into her apartment building two weeks ago.

"I’m
not gonna hurt you; I’ve got something to show you," the pervert said,
flashing the terrified teen in the doorway and chasing her up the
stairs.

"She was halfway up the stairs and he was following
her," the girl’s mother said. "My husband heard what was going on and
he came out, and the guy turned around and fled."

The family, whose name is being withheld by the Daily News because they are fearful of the attacker, moved to Park Slope from South Africa recently to escape the violence that plagues their native Johannesburg.

"It
was a pretty big shock," said the still-shaken ninth-grader about the
5:30 p.m. incident. "Coming from a very crime-ridden country to
somewhere that’s supposedly safe – it wasn’t something I was
expecting."

An NYPD
spokesman confirmed that the incident took place, adding that 78th
Precinct detectives are on the case looking for the flasher, described
as in his early to late teens, wearing black shorts, a gray T-shirt and
a blue hat.
