The man got away without giving his name so police are now releasing video footage of the incident, including the confrontation, as they seek to identify him. The man was last seen running down Amesbury Street.

State Police Trooper James DeAngelis said he wouldn’t recommend people confronting their alleged attackers or flashers.
“Obviously we would prefer someone to call 911 so that we can respond. She reacted in the blink of an eye what she felt was the best form of action. Good for her. I think she put the fear of God in the guy,” DeAngelis said,Patch.com reports.
Aia believes police will find the man and urges people not to let such aggressions stand.
“I want to speak out, you have a choice,” Aia said. “You can do something about it, so my choice is to do something about it.”
Anyone with information is urged to call Trooper Martin Concannon at the State Police Barracks in Boston, 617-727-6780.
