WASHINGTON (DC News Now) – Police said they were investigating after a homeowner’s camera caught a man performing a sex act on himself with a cucumber in her driveway.
The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) said it happened around 5:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 6 in the Truxton Circle neighborhood, not far from Dunbar High School.
DC News Now obtained video of the incident from the owner of the security camera who hoped sharing the footage, which she posted on Reddit, would help police identify the man in order to protect her neighbors and students.
“I was so disgusted, and freaked out,” Catherine Baker said, after reviewing the footage.

It was around dinnertime when Baker’s camera recorded a man with an apparent lunch box entering her driveway and lodging a cucumber in the grille of Baker’s SUV. The video shows the man checking to see if the coast is clear before turning his back to the SUV and beginning to use the cucumber in the sex act.
“I want people, I want my neighbors to know and keep an eye out for this person. I want parents to be mindful. There’s a lot of kids, there are high school students, they walk themselves to and from school but we all have to be vigilant about this kind of thing,” Baker said.
“It was that eye contact that really unsettled me, because it then continues for longer than one would imagine. And of course, then he saves the cucumber for later, so it really leaves one with a lot of questions that no one wants to have on their mind,” said Baker, who had not seen the man prior to his appearance in the video.
D.C.’s indecent exposure law says that any public penetration for sexual gratification violates the law. Penalties include a fine of up to $300, prison time of no more than 90 days, or both.
Outside Dunbar High School Tuesday, Safe Passage Ambassador Vinnia Narh told DC News Now: “There are children walking around, neighborhood kids, elementary school, middle school and high school. So, it’s just a kid-friendly neighborhood so we definitely want to get him out of the way.”
