A bystander took matters into his own hands when he witnessed a man exposing himself to tourists at the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The incident, which occurred on Sunday, was captured on video and obtained by KABC-TV.
In the footage, the bearded man can be seen with his pants down, waving and standing in the intersection at Hollywood and Highland, a popular tourist spot. Another man approaches him, attempting to make him pull up his pants.
However, a third man intervenes, delivering a punch and dragging the offender onto the Walk of Fame, successfully subduing him on the ground.
"Don't f***ing move! There's f***ing kids, [and] you're f***ing doing that?!" the bystander exclaims to the bearded man, as he holds him down. Meanwhile, another individual throws a plastic water bottle at the offender's head.
According to KABC, the Los Angeles Police Department has no record of any arrests made in connection with the incident.
This incident comes in the wake of two other violent criminal acts in the same area. In the early hours of Sunday, a man who was meditating was shot and wounded, while on Monday, another man was stabbed between Las Palmas and Cherokee Avenues.
The Hollywood Walk of Fame, located just steps away from the renowned Chinese Theatre and Dolby Theatre, attracts approximately 10 million visitors annually. Despite the area's issues with homelessness and crime, tourists continue to flock to the Walk of Fame in search of their favorite celebrities' stars and photo opportunities.
