The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office has taken to social media to track down a man alleged to have committed public indecency on a Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority bus. The post, complete with video and images, details an incident from last Wednesday where the suspect reportedly engaged in lewd behavior, much to the dismay of passengers and the bus driver. The man is accused of pleasuring himself in plain sight before physically assaulting the bus driver upon exiting at S. King Road and Tully Road.

Authorities describe the suspect as a Hispanic male, standing between 5'5" and 5'8" tall, and weighing roughly 160 lbs, with black hair adorned with a beard and mustache. The urgency of the situation is underscored by the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office, which declares that "Sexual misconduct or assault will not be tolerated, especially toward public transit operators and passengers."

Any leads or information regarding the suspect can be communicated through the tipline at 408-808-4431.
