NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Police arrested a 35-year-old man on Wednesday for allegedly masturbating in front of four women and one girl in various subways across Brooklyn and Queens.
Officers brought in Jose Lopez, 35, around 10:22 a.m. and charged him with five counts of public lewdness.
Between July and the end of 2022, Lopez is accused of exposing himself and masturbating in front of at least five different victims, according to officials.
The first known incident took place on July 22 around 7 p.m. on a northbound F train when he allegedly targeted an 18-year-old woman.
Lopez then targeted a 14-year-old girl on Sept. 9 around 3 p.m. on a southbound F train approaching the Avenue X subway station, according to police.
He allegedly struck again on Nov. 7 around 8 p.m. on a southbound F train approaching the Kings Highway subway station — this time harassing a 36-year-old woman.
On Dec. 27 around noon on a southbound Q train approaching the Newkirk subway station, he masturbated in front of a 19-year-old woman, officials said.
He reportedly harassed the same woman later that day on a northbound Q train, but fled when she started recording him.
On Dec. 30 just before 5 p.m., Lopez allegedly harassed a 20-year-old woman on a northbound M train platform at the Seneca Avenue subway station.
None of the victims were injured during the attacks.
