Unfortunately, Metro stations and trains are often the setting for sexual harassment — it feels like every few months, the City Paper has another story about a man masturbating on the Metro. But if you see people doing something that makes you feel uncomfortable, report it! We often give Metro Transit Police a hard time, but they listen to tips, as this WTOP story about the arrest of a man who allegedly groped a woman proves.

Anyone feeling harassed while on Metro property should call MTP’s 24-hour hotline at (202) 962-2121, or press the red emergency button inside each car.
