Restaurant boss
in raw - tipsters

Is he subway flasher?

Camera phone shot of suspected perv.

Cops want to question a Manhattan restaurant owner after getting numerous tips that he's the subway flasher caught in the act by camera phone, police sources said last night.
Nearly two dozen people have phoned the Daily News and the NYPD to say they believe Dan Hoyt, co-owner of raw-food eateries called Quintessence, is the man whose photo appeared on the cover of Saturday's paper.

Investigators contacted Hoyt by phone and asked him to come in for an interview, NYPD sources said. No arrests have been made.

Hoyt did not return The News' calls, and his business partner and ex-wife, Tolentin Chan, said, "It's not proven yet."

She said whoever the flasher is, he needs counseling.

"There should be a support center to support these men to find what is the cause of their action instead of ...putting them in jail," she said.

Hoyt and Chan co-own two restaurants, one on E. 10th St. in the East Village and the other on Amsterdam Ave., and are well known in the raw food movement, which calls for serving uncooked food.

The photo appeared in The News after Thao Nguyen, 22, used her cell phone to take a picture of a blond-haired man who exposed and fondled himself on an R train on Aug. 19.

Two other women who saw the picture - which also was posted on the Internet - have come forward to say they were flashed by the same man.

"When it did happen to me I was in shock," said a 31-year-old Manhattan woman. "It's a violation of my space and my sense of safety. It angered me he thought he could get away with it," she said.

She said the man flashed her twice in the past six months, both times on the 1/9 line.

"I know that face and remember that creepy smile," she said. "What a surprise to see his face on the front page of the Daily News. I am grateful for Ms. Nguyen's quick thinking and hope this man gets caught."

A 23-year-old student said the same man victimized her on the subway last Wednesday, and she now plans to file a complaint with cops.


"I just wanted to forget about the whole thing. I am glad someone had the wherewithal to do something about this," she said.

The victims will be asked to look at photo lineups of the flasher. If anyone is arrested, the charge will be public lewdness, a misdemeanor.

His penis is very clearly out of his pants and erect. That is fvkced up. I guess he flashed the wrong lady. Now not only is his face on the front page of the paper there, his career is probably over. And he is about to have a sh!tload of lawsuits slammed into him.

It is? If so he should put it back because he's got nothing to be proud of.

That said, yeah he should be kicked in the nuts, but she's mounted a crusade fitting for Jack the Ripper.

It's not that "big" a deal :p

Why should someone be proud of something they didn't accomplish? Big, small...it's all genetics and has nothing to do with pride.

He is a pervert. He is aroused by public exposure. That could lead to worse things. He needs help.

Dude, it's NYC. :p

Let's see what the Left Coast equivalent is...

Ok, you are on a subway in some NW city, and someone spills their Starbucks coffee on purpose. You would probably think him an idiot, and pretty much ignore him.

This is the NYC equivalent. They really ARE different.

You don't live in NYC do you?

Like I said, he deserves a good kick, and the cops can and should give him a tough time if they catch him. Damn dude, I grew up in inner city Philly. This guy isn't anything other than an annoyance like the other thousands of people like him. Should it be permitted? No, but come on read her language. She makes it sound like this guy deserves to be hunted down like Saddam. Molesting himself? Come on. Yeah, he's a dick and he shows him, and he needs a good shrink, but this guy is not the Boston Strangler.

All I know is I would take more then one picture. :p

Then she would probably charge you for something and end up calling you a pervert, even if she is in the "wrong"

So?

I am a pervert, I mean I download porn. :(

That guy is weird and needs to be arrested before he goes further into other stuff...

but, since when it touching oneself considered molestation?

I've had friends arrested for public urination. Whipping your d|ck out on a subway goes above and beyond that. This guy is a sicko.

Also, this guy might not be a serial killer, but what stops him from being a serial rapist? If he sees no problem with whipping it out to prove how big a man he is on a subway, what stops him from following this girl home?

He should burn.

It starts as 'harmless' exposure and then the perp gains confidence. Before you know it, the 'harmless' guy has moved on from flashing to having a girl pinned to the floor...

Just click the little magnifying glass in the upper left, resizes to the native res of 1280x1024. Clear as day.

You are not going to get me to say this whackoff guy isn't a wacko, but we had a lot of old lonely guys in overcoats in Philly flashing it for whatever reason. We had rapists too. Maybe times have changed, but the first group died after a pathetic life. The second group were the nasty ones though. Antisocial, or angry men with too much liquor and a real desire to hurt someone, especially women.

Are there any statistics on exibitionism and rape?

just wondering at what point you consider this a "real" crime.

if he actually touches her with his penis? so anything short of that is ok?
