Police are searching for a man who they say was caught on video taking an “upskirt” photo of a woman inside an Upper Darby store.
Police say the man followed the woman as she walked inside the Philly Pretzel Factory store on 54 S. 69th Street at 11:47 a.m. and stood behind her on line. The man then took out his cell phone and took several photographs up the woman’s skirt, according to investigators. Police say the woman felt the man brush her leg 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.
“I have two nieces, a sister and a mother and I’d be irate if this happened to them,” said Eric Aubrey of Lansdowne. “It’s a violation.”
The suspect is described as a man with a medium build standing between 5-foot-9 and 5-foot-10 in his early 20s with a goatee and beard. He was last seen wearing all black clothing and a North Face jacket. If you have any information on his whereabouts, please call the Upper Darby Township Police Department Investigations Division at 610-734-7677.
