Nassau County police are looking for a man who exposed himself and grabbed a woman who let him in her car after the victim asked for directions in Massapequa over the weekend.
The 33-year-old woman was driving her Nissan eastbound on Merrick Road when she stopped and asked the suspect how to get back to the Long Island Expressway at 11:40 p.m. Sunday, police said.
The man told the victim he would show her the way and got in the rear of the vehicle. They continued eastbound on Merrick Road, then northbound on Ocean Avenue.
