Man Investigated For Apparently Masturbating at Hospital

A 14-year-old girl told her mother a man sitting across from her in the emergency department waiting room at Norwalk Hospital, 34 Maple St., Tuesday night stared at her and apparently committed a sexual act.

The girl said an older white man pulled his jacket over his lap, then put his hand under the jacket and began moving it in rapid motion.

She said he then began moaning, making faces and mouthing words at her, then appeared to pantomime a sexual act.

The girl’s mother called security. Police said when the man was confronted with the allegations he denied them and left hastily.

The hospital identified the man, who is 57, as a regular patient. Police are seeking a warrant for his arrest.
