Park Slope & Prospect Park Nanny & Child Flasher on the Loose?

September 11th, 2008 · No Comments

Apparently, someone is walking around Park Slope flashing people or, at least, flashing a nanny and child. Here’s the sordid story from a Park Slope Parents email:

My nanny was at the park with my son on Monday, and a man came up and exposed himself. His description: 5’8″ to 5’10”, 200pounds, black hair with a ponytail, black shirt and a black shorts. He seems to be white or Hispanic. He also has a big black dog perhaps either Shepard of Doberman. This happened near the 15th street and ParkWest corner entrance around 11:45am on Monday. Along side the tree path extending from the entrance to north, there are several benches in the park facing the green. My nanny was sitting there with my son, and the man approached them with his dog. She called her friend and police right away and although the police promised to call her back in a few, she still hasn’t heard back from them.

We’re going to wager she’ll be hearing from the NYPD soon.
