HUNTS POINT — A flasher exposed himself to a group of four 8- and 9-year-old students at the Hyde Leadership School during recess on Monday, police said.
The group of boys and girls were out in the schoolyard around 1 p.m. when the suspect walked up to a fence at 730 Bryant Ave. and called them over, according to the NYPD.
When the students came up to him, he briefly spoke to them before pulling down his black sweatpants and exposing his penis, police said.
The suspect fled down Longfellow Avenue after the students yelled for help, police said.
Officers described the suspect as a man with a mask over his face who was last seen in a black jacket, black pants and black and silver sneakers.
Video of the suspect shows him calmly walking down the sidewalk.
