According to Chicago police, two separate incidents occurred on back-to-back mornings last week near the 2000 block of West 23rd Street.

In both cases—once on May 1 and again on May 2, just before 7 a.m.—the man was reportedly standing across the street from victims waiting for a school bus. Police say he attempted to get their attention by sticking out his tongue, then performed lewd acts.
