Cover your eyes and move on to the next story if you're squirmish. This one is about as heinously gross as it gets.

Okay:

It happened …

… Saturday in the 300 block of Bungalow Drive, which is near a middle school and a park, according to an El Segundo PD statement.

We're going to guess that police are just telling us now because they only recently picked up a neighbor's cellphone video of the incident, a screen grab of which tells you something about what the guy looks like.

El Segundo PD:

His image was captured via a cell phone camera belonging to a witness who observed his obscene behavior.

The suspect is described as a male white adult in his 30's, medium build, with short brown hair and wearing a black t-shirt and blue jeans.

Know this perv? Call the cops at 310-524-2284.

Update: El Segundo PD tells the Weekly they nabbed 28-year-old Eric P. Stickney last night at a public restroom inside the Hacienda Hotel. He was arrested in connection with the incident.
