A tech-savvy teen who snapped a cellphone picture of a flasher who exposed himself on the subway said she overcame her fear and disgust because she felt a "responsibility" to other vulnerable young riders. ......the resourceful 15-year-old La Guardia HS sophomore told The Post. "I was shocked, then I got disgusted......."
The girl, a painter, found herself in a frightening bind - boxed in on one side by her friend, who was busy doing her homework, and the other by a snoozing female rider.
Straight ahead was a hulking man dressed in black who repeatedly opened his coat to expose his genitals - right at the teenage girl's eye level. After her initial shock, the teen said she knew what she had to do: expose him.
As she pretended to text-message another friend, the teen aimed her cellphone up at her tormentor, taking a photo of his face, and then of his privates.
When the train slowed to stop, the teen told her friend, in Mandarin, "to wait when the train stops for everyone to leave........."
She promptly went to cops. The flasher remained at large last night.

STRANGE INTER-LEWD: This is the cellphone photo of a straphanger who allegedly exposed himself.
someone should mangle his dangle.
Clinton? Dean? Teddy?
Sorry guys, but I really don't see why some of you think your genitals are so special they have to be shown off. Nothing is unique when over 3,000,000,000 others have the same.
he looks kind of like Gene Simmons, of KISS in a hat/scarf...
Well, some are more equal than others, but FWIW I don't have the slightest interest to flash anyone, though if ya gotta be flashed you could sure do a whole lot worse IMHO. :)
Do you think there are flashers here? Why?
Aint technology great?
Is the ACLU going to come to his defense and say the girl violated his rights?
Johnny Depp.
LOL.....the Flasher Syndrome should be explored---is it pride of placement (smirk)---or the urge to shock?
Mine are incredibly special...but I still manage to keep them under wraps.
Hillary on male steroids?
Understood! All kidding aside, the rest of the world does not need to be made unwilling participants in this sicko's perversion.
Good for the young woman for overcoming her understandable disgust and helping the cops catch the guy.
All of the "she may just be mad at him" "She invaded his privacy" "how do we know she isn't just a pissed off girlfriend" posts yesterday were disgusting.
Ick. Ick. And Ick.
Thank God this girl had the presence of mind (and technology) to take this disgusting perv's picture.
I hope they nab this scumbag and his pitiful dangling package SOON.
Those of you who posted yesterday to defend this perv - shame on you.
Man, this ticks me off.
Tech savvy teen?
It's a CAMERA fgs.
Numbskull writer.
The flasher remained at large last night.
