From the department of gross: A man was apparently caught masturbating during a Megabus trip from D.C. to New York City this past Friday.
According to a post on the Washington, D.C. subreddit, redditor “jaanku” reports that, while en route to N.Y.C., he witnessed another passenger watching porn on his phone and masturbating. “He stroked it for about 2 hours. Literally had his penis sticking completely out of his pants with absolutely no regard for anyone else on the bus,” the post says, painting a very, very uncomfortable visual.
Of course, other people took notice and the police were called. The bus was pulled over just before it reached the Lincoln Tunnel and the suspected stroker was arrested. Redditor “jaanku” goes on to say that no one at Megabus has contacted him or any other passengers about the incident, as far as he knows. But he did capture the suspect’s arrest on camera and, thank God, not the actual crime.
A Megabus representative did not have any immediate information about the arrest. Request for comment from the Weehawken Police Department has not been returned.
UPDATE: Mike Alvich, Megabus Vice President of Marketing and Public Relations sent this statement to DCist via email:
“On Friday, June 7 megabus.com was notified of a lewd, inappropriate and offensive act by one of its passengers on a bus en route from Washington D.C. to New York. Acting in accordance to our policies we contacted local authorities, who apprehended and arrested the passenger at around 7 p.m. near the Lincoln Tunnel. It has always been in megabus.com’s policy – in the interest of safety or other customers or drivers – to remove persons whose conduct is disorderly, offensive, abusive, illegal or violent.”
