Police Nab Man Accused of Taking ‘Upskirt' Pics of Woman in Upper Darby Store

A man accused of slipping a cellphone camera under a woman's skirt and snapping photos inside an Upper Darby store last week has been arrested, police said on Sunday.

Upper Darby Police tweeted on Sunday that a suspect was nabbed in the incident, which happened early last week inside the Philly Pretzel Factory store on 69th Street. Police said the suspect was caught on camera standing behind a women in line, then whipping out his phone to snap photos up her skirt.

The woman caught the man when he brushed her leg, police said, and turned to confront him.

"You can see her actually take a swing at the guy," said Upper Darby Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood. "It's a shame she didn’t knock him out. The thing that bothers me about these dirtballs is that if they can do this what can they do beyond that?"

The man then left the store and fled. He was last seen running on Walnut Street towards Barrington Road.

Police said the suspect, whose identity has not yet been revealed, was captured over the weekend. They said they would be releasing more information about him later Sunday.
