A creep was busted for allegedly exposing himself to two shoppers at a Long Island mall — then chasing the terrified women into a stockroom, police said.
The disturbing incident took place near the Kate Spade store at Roosevelt Field Mall in East Garden City around 10:20 a.m. Saturday.
The women, ages 19 and 42, were approached by a 27-year-old stranger — who was previously banned from the sprawling shopping center — who proceeded to expose his privates to them, according to a press release from the Nassau County Police Department.
When the victims tried to get away from the accused deviant, later identified as Dwight Clermont, police said he chased them.
The women were forced to run away and lock themselves inside a stockroom for safety.
Cops said Clermont made repeated attempts to break into the stockroom where the victims were huddling, before he finally gave up and left.
The two women then called the police, who quickly responded, tracked down Clermont and took him into custody without incident.
