A video has gone viral showing a man without pants at a busy intersection near a youth football field in Travis, Staten Island. The incident took place on a Thursday evening, around 6 p.m., when kids were gathering for football practice.
The man, dressed only in a black hoodie and glasses, approached the intersection of Travis Avenue and South Avenue. Parents at the football practice quickly ushered him away from the field, but it’s unclear if he had attempted to approach before or after the footage was captured.
In the video, the man is seen walking southbound on South Avenue and interacting with a black car in the turning lane. He then climbs onto the hood of the car, grinds his buttocks against the windshield, and sprawls out with his legs wide open. It looks like he’s laughing as he slides off the hood of the vehicle.
Emergency responders were called to the scene, but there’s no information yet on where the man was taken by NYPD or FDNY. The incident has caused concern among parents and community members who are calling for increased vigilance in public spaces to ensure everyone’s safety, especially near areas where children are present.
