Horrible: Seeing Guy Masturbate While He Stares At You On The Subway

In the wake of the alleged Whitehall station subway pervert, Gawker received an account of one woman's experience having a guy apparently pleasure himself while watching her on a train. And she has video.

You can watch it here (it looks like it's from an IND/BMT train). She explains:

I was just reading my book, not expecting to get any action on my commute home on a pretty full train. Then a kind, observant lady leans over and whispers, "Just so you know, the guy across the aisle is masturbating and watching you." Oh really? Is it my lucky day? I peek up with trepidation. Truly, he is, HE IS! I look back down at my book while I try to gather my wits. The informer giggles uncomfortably, which allows me to handle this with a little humor. I fish for my phone and prop it on my lap, capturing this gem of a video. You can see him realize he's being documented halfway through. But does that deter him? Why no, it does not. He is fully committed to his task. He finishes! Then turns bashful. But not so bashful that he doesn't find the courage to ask me to be his girlfriend on his way off the train.

The NYPD hasn't responded to our questions about what victims of subway lewdness should do if a police officer isn't on the platform and if you're trying to get the hell away. But a reader noted that a man was pleasuring himself while sitting across from herself and her sister on the subway: "After taking photos and a video of this and having a very loud confrontation with him, he left at the next stop and I went to the police afterward (where I was also given a runaround of which precinct to go to) and filed a report for lewd behavior, but they didn't even want to take the photos/video! I was told a detective would contact me in a few days, but to no avail. It's been months."

should have said "i like your shoe"

That happened to me on the C train when I was 13 years old. I even got off the train at 59th street, but the sweaty businessman followed me to the next train and kept on wankin. Gross.

Jake_Lim

What kind of a wank technique is that? Woman must be imagining things. I don't think he was jerking off, I think he's just coming off a heroin high

Elizabeth Farrell

Had the same exact thing happen to me. He chased me down the platform once I got off too and grabbed my bag. Except the 2 times I've seen him, he's rockin' a wheelchair.

Wendy Scher

I've had that happen. (A different guy.) One of the weird things you might see when you go into the city at 3 in the morning!

akachris

That guy must be the kind of elitist that Newt Gingrich is talking about.

John Tripp

Ladies, stop dressing like little cum sluts and this won't happen.

Joey Boots

This guy is playing with his penis as well on the Subway: http://mrwhites.minus.com/mbpn... #NSFW #Explicit

Pretty sure this is the same guy who did the same thing to me over the summer, just with a different haircut. I also took his picture, but reported it to the conductor and the police eventually picked him up at chambers. His pic and the story can be seen here: http://nyc.ihollaback.org/?s=e...

you're disgusting. i do not deserve to have someone sexually harass me on the train. and to John Tripp, I was not dressed like a "cum slut". I hear victim blaming.

HymietownHero

What you hear, in fact, is snark and sarcasm.

edgie168

will you be my girlfriend?

ktinnyc

Totally the same guy.

DrSysz

wow....I clicked agreement with those above who thought he was just high/crazy and not doing anything deliberately sexual, but he does kind of look like the guy in your pic.....so the high/crazy act is just his cover....! Fucked up...

Peanut_Butter

Why does Jen get these articles?

Dead Himmler

If you think about it you will understand why. Two years ago? LES? Late night? If you don't get it you probably just don't know about it.

TheRealCannibal

nice sex face

Midnight Fapper

So if some urban youths do this, it's fashionable.

When it's some white guy, it's a crime.

Hrmm, interesting.

As a connoisseur of choking the chicken, I can claim with complete certainty he's NOT cuffing the carrot.
