Man sought following incident at school crossing
Southwest Regional police said they are investigating after an unidentified man was caught performing a sex act on himself at a school bus stop in Belle Vernon Wednesday.
Police Chief John D. Hartman said the incident occurred around 3 p.m. at the intersection of State Street and Pleasant Alley.
Hartman said that a school crossing guard stationed at the corner of Short and State streets was working at the intersection and was with a 12-year-old child when they noticed something amiss.
Hartman said the crossing guard told police that the man was staring at the child and masturbating.
“He (the suspect) was right on the street corner, right out in the open,” Hartman said. “When he realized that the crossing guard had noticed what he was doing he ran.”
