Police: Masturbating man surprises woman in Waupelani Drive apartment

June 13, 2010 12:37am EDT

STATE COLLEGE — Police are searching for a man who hid his face with a surgical mask and broke into a woman’s Waupelani Drive apartment, naked from the waist down, masturbating while she sat at her kitchen table. 

 

The 5-foot 7-inch tall man apparently fled after the woman ran to a neighbor for help. Police, who arrived soon after, couldn’t find him.

He’s described as slender, white, and wearing a green surgical mask and a dark hat, with a dark-colored shirt pulled up to his chest at the time of the incident.

The woman wasn’t hurt during the incident, but police are treating it as a burglary and indecent assault investigation.

It happened around 10:10 p.m. Friday.  The woman told police she was sitting at her kitchen table when she felt someone touch her shoulder. When she turned around, the man was standing behind her, performing his act.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the State College police 234-7150 or Centre County Crimestoppers at 877- 992-7463. "Anonymous tips" can be submitted to the police website at statecollegepa.
