Babson Student Arrested After Allegedly Flashing Bicyclist in Brookline Park

A 23-year-old Babson College student was arrested last week after he reportedly exposed himself to a passing bicyclist in North Brookline's Knyvet Park.

Ram M. Katave was charged with open and gross conduct after the bicyclist identified him as the man who had approached him with his pants down in the middle of the park. According to a police report, Katave is originally from La Manga, TX, but has been living in the Dexter Park Apartments directly adjacent to the park.

The bicyclist told police he had been riding through the middle of the park on July 1 when a man, later identified as Katave, walked up with him and pulled his shorts down, grabbing his penis and saying, "Like it, like it, love it."

When police arrived shortly after the incident, Katave was still sitting on a bench in the middle of the park, according to police.
