Watch out Southeast Portland shopkeepers: Police are looking for a man who's accused of jerking off in front of female store employees.

The Portland Police Bureau today issued a news release reporting that on Friday, Nov. 6, an "African American male in his late-teens or early-20s, 5'10" tall and a skinny 130 pounds" entered a business at SE 17th Ave and Hawthorne Boulevard and asked a female employee for help.

"The employee told police that she turned around to check a price and when she turned back to face the suspect, he was holding his penis and masturbating," according to the news release. "The employee told police that she demanded he leave the store and that the suspect was last seen walking westbound on Hawthorne."

The employee described the alleged jerker-offer as light-skinned, wearing black skinny jeans, a black jean vest, and a dark t-shirt. He may have tattoos on his face or neck and on his hands.

The news release says this guy may be responsible for other, similar, incidents: one from an employee working at a business at SE 47th and Belmont, and at multiple shops along SE 13th Ave in Sellwood.

Anyone with information, including neighborhood surveillance images of the suspect or his vehicle, should call the Police at 503-823-3333.

Anyone who has the horrifying experience of being assaulted like this should immediately call 911 so that police can respond and take a report and search the neighborhood for the suspect.
