We’ve heard of “different strokes for different folks,” but this is ridiculous.
Police in the U.S. city of Seattle have reached out to the public in an effort to learn the identity of a man seen dressed in clothing akin to that of a ninja after he was spotted masturbating outside the home of a group of students who attend the University of Washington.
The masked male has meddled with his member multiple times since January 10, local news site Seattle PI reports, prompting the residents to install the night-vision camera which captured the—thankfully censored—images seen below.
In the footage, the individual appears dressed entirely in dark clothing (reports state that his garments appear white due only to the nature of the night-vision images) and wearing distinctive five-toed shoes while pleasuring himself.
The residents contacted the police several times after hearing “suspicious sounds” coming from outside their door, but little progress has been made and thus far the man’s identity remains a mystery.
Why he should gain such pleasure from polishing his katana outside someone’s home—not least while dressed as a Japanese assassin—is anyone’s guess, but here’s hoping that this individual is apprehended soon.
