Police said the incident happened just before 3 p.m. Wednesday when a man took pictures under a woman’s skirt with a phone. She confronted him and he threw his phone on the ground “in an attempt to break it,” police said.

Other Metro riders came to help the victim. Police from Arlington County and Metro Transit arrived shortly after the incident and the man — who was later identified as Mario Garay Revelo of the District — was arrested.

He was charged with unlawful image of another, police said.

The incident is under investigation. Police asked that anyone who believes they had “inappropriate interaction” with Revelo call 703-558-2222.
