Police are looking for a man who was reported to have been masturbating outside of a Williamsburg shop before walking inside and trying to get to the cash register.

The incident happened on Nov. 21 at around 10:50 a.m., when the suspect stood outside the Lot Radio’s site at 17 Nassau Ave. and masturbated while staring at a 20-year-old female employee, police said.

The suspect then walked inside the tiny store when the employee moved to a back room at the site, and then tried to open the cash register, according to police.

When two employees emerged from the back, he bolted from the scene, police said. He did not make out with any cash, an NYPD spokesperson said.

The suspect, seen in photos and video released by the NYPD, is described as black, with a beard, and last seen wearing a dark colored winter cap, a black jacket with stripes along its arms, and dark colored pants.

Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477). All calls are strictly confidential.
