Flasher covered in faeces after revenge by disgusted crowd

A man who was caught pleasuring himself in public was taught a tough lesson by outraged members of the public, it has been revealed.

The 48 year-old man, of no fixed abode, refused to stop touching himself in a portable toilet in full view of others, when the unit he was in, was toppled over.

Police reported that the pervert entered a toilet at Hawthorne Bridge, in Portland, Oregon, and left the door wide open and as began to pleasure himself.

It was then that the other homeless people decided to wreak revenge on the hapless flasher by pushing over the toilet.

A homeless female witness told Katu: "[He] was flashing us over and over again and we asked him multiple times and told him to stop and he wouldn't.

"Our friend thought it would be funny to get up and jump behind the porta-potty [sic] and kick it."

The man, was eventually rescued by the Portland Fire and Rescue service, although he was covered in faeces.

He was not however, arrested.

Commenting on the incident, Willie Halliburton of Portland Police, said: "Physically, he's fine but he had a crappy day. Fortunately for him, he had some clothing he could change into and clean himself up later on. It worked out okay."

Mr Halliburton added that he had never seen anything like it in the 27 years that he has been at the force.

As a reminder of what not to do when using public facilities, a note left by the individuals who helped to tip the toilet, read: "That's what happens 4 showing your [expletive]".
