A deranged man is behind bars on Wednesday after a confrontation caught on camera where he exposed himself to a father and his child.
Video from What’s Up SCV? posted on social media show an unidentified white male who had taken off his blue jeans and black sandals during some sort of confrontation with another man and his child.
The incident reportedly happened around 1 p.m. at what was originally identified as a “Valencia train station,” though many users commented that it was actually a bus transit station.
The statement obtained by What’s Up SCV? revealed, “a man allegedly exposed himself to a father and child on the platform, prompting a heated confrontation.”
“The situation escalated to the point where MTA personnel and Santa Clarita bus drivers intervened to de-escalate the incident.
The statement added that, “authorities responded, and the suspect was subsequently taken into custody on charges of indecent exposure.”
The video shows the man — donning a black t-shirt that was pulled up to expose his chest and stomach, with a black hat and black shorts.
The man is seen yelling something indistinguishable at the father, as transit officials try to get between the crazed man and the father.
The man keeps trying to advance on the father, as more transit officials arrive to intervene, and at one point, the father locks his stroller into place, seemingly ready to confront the man.

The transit officials then separated the man and the father, seemingly before the authorities arrived and took him into custody.
Many social media users commended the father, with one saying, “Man props to that father for keeping his cool,” with another adding, “big props to dad for keeping his temper under control… i don’t think i would’ve been able to if that was me and my son!!”
Another user claimed to be the father’s cousin, adding, “That’s my cousin you don’t even know how much strength it took for him to hold back.”
She added, “he’s a single father and nobody’s perfect but he has been trying to be better and it bums me out seeing that he had to go through this.”
