HICKORY, N.C. – A woman inside a motel gym reported a man dropped his pants and watched her Wednesday afternoon.

Police received the indecent exposure report from Best Western at 1520 13th Ave. Drive SE, Hickory, according to an incident report.

The woman, who was in Hickory from Italy on a business trip, told police she was running on a treadmill at noon Wednesday when she noticed a white male watching her through a window, Hickory Police Department spokeswoman Chrystal Dieter said.

The suspect’s pants were down and he was masturbating, Dieter said. When the woman fled from the gym, the man ran away, Dieter said. No arrests were made Wednesday in the incident.
