A woman reported to the IU Police Department on Tuesday that a man was masturbating and staring at her while the two were riding a Bloomington Transit bus.\nThe female complainant said she was on a C Route bus, riding between the Musical Arts Center and Eigenmann Hall, when she noticed someone on the bus staring at her, said IUPD Sgt. Craig Munroe.\n“The complainant stated that she was wearing a low-cut dress and observed a male across from her attempting to look up her dress,” Munroe said. The female moved to a seat behind her until she reached her stop at Eigenmann, approximately a 10-minute ride, he said.\n“As she came to her stop she realized that the male had pulled his arms through the sleeves of his shirt and was masturbating,” Munroe said.\nThe female reported the incident to IUPD shortly before 2:30 p.m., about two hours after the fact. She described the man to police as Hispanic, between the ages of 18 and 24, and identified a possible suspect in a photo lineup, Munroe said.\nMunroe said a probable cause affidavit for indecent exposure has been issued, and IUPD hopes to make an arrest soon.
