Washington, September 11:  The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) is investigating an unusual incident captured by a homeowner’s camera. On Friday, September 6, around 5:30 p.m., in the Truxton Circle neighbourhood, a man was seen performing a sexual act with a cucumber in the driveway of a private residence. The location is near Dunbar High School. Police are actively looking into the matter and have not yet released further details.

According to a report by the Daily Mail, A homeowner, Catherine Baker, posted a security camera video on Reddit after discovering a man performing a sexual act with a cucumber in her driveway. The footage shows the man placing the cucumber on her SUV and engaging in the act while checking for onlookers. Baker hopes sharing the video will help police identify the man and protect her community. US Shocker: Woman Caught on Camera Poisoning Husband’s Coffee With Bleach, Strikes Plea Deal to Avoid Prison.

Baker’s police report says that the video shows more of the incident. After the man first used the cucumber on her SUV, he moved to the passenger side and repeated the act. He appeared to spot the security camera before placing the cucumber back in his lunchbox and walking away through a nearby alley. Nebraska School Shooting: 1 Hospitalised After Unidentified Opens Fire at Northwest High School in Omaha, Probe Launched.

“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,” Baker was quoted as saying.

D.C.’s indecent exposure law prohibits public sexual acts, with penalties including fines up to 300 USD, up to 90 days in prison, or both. Safe Passage Ambassador Vinnia Narh expressed concern about the safety of local children, emphasizing the need to identify and remove the man from the neighbourhood.
