Fairfax County police are seeking the community’s help identifying a man believed to be responsible for multiple incidents of exposing himself in an Annandale apartment complex. 

The first incident was reported on May 17 when a man was seen masturbating in an apartment building’s vestibule in the 4400 block of Island Place in Heritage Court. 

A woman saw the man and quickly entered a storage room, locking the door behind her. The man was seen on a doorbell camera peering into the storage room through a hole in the door. He left the area before the police arrived.   

Detectives later learned that earlier on that day a woman encountered the man in the vestibule of an apartment building in the 7900 block of Dassett Court. The woman locked herself into a storage closet after the man refused to let her leave the building. She was not injured.

The man was again observed on May 18 in a stairwell in the 7800 block of Dassett Court. The man lunged at a woman and grabbed her before running away. 

On June 1, the man was seen in the 4400 block of Briarwood Court masturbating behind a building while looking into an apartment window. Police were summoned by a neighbor, but the man fled before the police arrived.

Officers from the West Springfield Police District saturated the area attempting to identify the man responsible for these incidents.

The suspect has been described as a black man in his late teens to early 20s. He is approximately 6 feet tall with a slim build. In each case, he was wearing blue pajama pants as seen in the photo. 

Detectives are asking anyone with information about this suspect to call the Major Crimes Bureau at 703-246-7800, option 3. Tips can also be submitted through Crime Solvers.
