A female undergraduate was flashed twice by a man while she was running on the towpath around Lake Carnegie at about 5 p.m. Wednesday afternoon, authorities said.
While the student was jogging along the towpath between Lake Carnegie and the Delaware and Raritan Canal, a man standing near the water on the Mapleton Road side of the canal made a loud noise and exposed his genitalia.
About 10 minutes later near the Kingston boathouse, the same man flashed the student again. No words were exchanged during the second encounter.
After the second incident, the victim found a group of people near a car and informed them of the incident. An individual in the group yelled in the direction of the suspect that he would call the police. The individual then drove away.
The female then returned closer to campus and notified public safety on a blue-light phone.
Public Safety and Plainsboro Township police scoured the area, Public Safety Crime Prevention Specialist Barry Weiser said, but the suspect was not apprehended.
"We then put out fliers and put it on [the Public Safety] website," Weiser said.
The fliers, which describe the incident and suspect, were distributed in all undergraduate and graduate student areas of campus, Weiser said.
The suspect was described as a six-foot white male, approximately 30-years-old with dark brown hair. At the time of the incident, the man was wearing a bright blue T-shirt and gray shorts.
The incident is still under investigation by the Plainsboro police department.
