A brave woman flipped the script on a subway creep who exposed himself and harassed her at a Harlem train station — filming the disturbing incident and posting it online for the world to see.
Juliet Scott, a research consultant and influencer originally from Sierra Leone, confronted the man after he allegedly followed her and exposed himself at the 125th Street 3 train station in late February.
The shocking footage was later shared on the Only in New York TikTok and Instagram accounts, quickly going viral with nearly 200,000 combined views.
“You’re disgusting — you’re nasty!” Scott is heard saying in the video, as the man continues to thrust his hips and make vulgar sexual gestures with his mouth and fingers from across the platform.
“Like this, too — look, look,” the man taunts her in the video, making kissing faces and pointing toward his mouth.
Scott captioned the clip with a chilling claim: “He followed me around for a minute before this, and kept showing me his parts.” She also said the harassment occurred in plain view of children and police officers present at the station — and yet, the man continued undeterred.
Outraged, Scott urged the public to call police if they recognised the man. “Another day in Harlem,” she told The Post in frustration.
The clip sparked widespread reaction, with over 900 users responding to an Instagram poll asking whether they recognised the individual. Shockingly, 14 percent — 128 people — claimed to have seen him before. Several women said they had similarly unsettling encounters with the same man.
“I hate this city sometimes,” one woman commented on Scott’s TikTok post. “Tired of these types of men.”
“This is the norm,” another added. “THIS is what we deal with on the DAILY.”
Still, not everyone praised Scott’s bold confrontation. Some commenters warned that engaging with the man could have put her in greater danger, suggesting she should have ignored and avoided him instead.
The NYPD has not yet issued a statement or confirmed whether an investigation is underway.
Under New York state law, public lewdness — defined as intentionally exposing intimate parts or committing lewd acts in public view — is a misdemeanor punishable by up to three months in jail, probation, and a fine of up to $500.
