A man reportedly found another man masturbating in public June 14, and kept an eye on him until police arrived.

Alfred Smith, 51, 101 Highland Ave., was arrested on Washington Street on a charge of lewd, wanton and lascivious conduct.

Responding to a report of indecent exposure on Washington and Myrtle streets at 11:28 p.m., police reportedly saw Smith with his pants down below his knees, touching himself in an inappropriate manner.

The man who reported Smith said he was at the gas station down the road getting cigarettes, when he heard someone talking about a naked man masturbating on the sidewalk. The man reportedly left the gas station and headed toward the police station to see what was going on. He reportedly saw Smith standing at the edge of the curb with his pants completely off, masturbating.

The man drove to the police station and told police about the incident, then returned to the scene to keep an eye on Smith, at which point Smith was reportedly sitting at the bus stop, still naked from the waist down and still masturbating. Police arrested Smith and took him to the station.
