Cops: Man Flashed Passersby while Fixing Curtain Rod

Hoboken police received a call from a "concerned resident" on Tuesday about a man who was standing in his ground floor apartment window, stark naked, according to reports.

At 9 a.m. on Tuesday, a woman walking on First Street in the area of Jefferson Street, noticed a naked man standing in his window, with his curtains open, police said. 

She called the police to inform them, but didn't file a complaint.

When police arrived, they observed the 65-year-old man in his window. Officers rang the doorbell and the Hoboken resident came to the door, wearing nothing but unbuttoned jeans, police said.

When police asked him what was happening, he told them that he was fixing his curtain rod, which hadn't been working for a while.

"I asked [the man] why he did not place on an article of clothing that would cover his intimate areas while he was fixing his curtain and he could not answer me why he did not do so," police wrote in the report about the incident.

The man received a disorderly person's offense for lewdness, but he did not appear to be flashing passersby on purpose, police said. He wasn't arrested.
