A man accused of exposing himself to a young girl was surrounded by residents on Brooklyn's Ditmas Avenue, with bystanders claiming he offered $50,000 (about £37,500) to be allowed to leave. Footage of the confrontation circulated online, showing him being held against the bonnet of a car as residents challenged him over the allegation.
A woman heard in the recording questioned whether he was trying to pay people to keep quiet. The girl's age and the man's identity have not been officially confirmed, while the exposure allegation and reported cash offer remain independently unverified.
