Chicago police are searching for a man who allegedly committed an indecent act while riding the Brown Line in Lincoln Park earlier this month.

In a community alert issued Thursday, CPD said investigators are seeking the man shown in released photos in connection with an incident reported at 3:30 p.m. on April 13 near the Diversey station. The alert did not provide details about what occurred or say whether anyone was victimized.

Police described the man as White and said he was wearing a black surgical mask, a black-and-white hat, a white-and-black polo shirt, black shorts, and black-and-white shoes. He was carrying a black backpack.

Anyone who recognizes him is asked to contact CPD’s Public Transportation Unit at 312-745-4447 or submit an anonymous tip at CPDTIP.com using case number JK216731.
