Man Walks Out Of Bushes While Masturbating In Dublin Park Near Woman

A man allegedly emerged from the bushes while masturbating near a woman last Thursday in Santry park.

The man reportedly followed the woman, who was out walking, when she tried to move away.

According to Dublin Live, the local walks in the park every morning before work.

"I was walking in the park as I do every morning before work and as I am always careful of my surroundings, I always know who is behind me.

"However last Thursday, the man appeared from nowhere. I knew there was nobody behind me as I did check a few seconds before."

The woman said that she didn't get afraid at first because she thought he was just in a hurry to get to work.

"I stopped for a second as I heard birds in the lake and I turned around to see where he was and he was stood beside me with an evil-looking face, flashing his penis and masturbating."

"I froze and didn't know what to do."

They were close to the gate of the park at this stage, but the woman in shock says she ran back into the park.

She reported that the man followed her and when she started running, he followed suit.

The woman slowed down as she was getting out of breath, but she realised the man was getting closer.

"I couldn't run any longer so stopped turned around and started screaming 'leave me alone' and 'help' - very loud."

The man stopped but continued to stare at her still masturbating.

"I ran and looked back a few times and he just stood there looking at me, so I stopped when I felt safe and looked at him."

"He was still there and suddenly started screaming. I didn't hear what he was screaming; it was too far."

The woman said she was badly shaken and has not been back to the park since the incident.
