A woman called police to her North Lake Street apartment after spotting a strange man peeping into her roommate's window for the second time in a week Sept. 12.
Police said the woman, 20, thought the man was likely the same one she saw apparently masturbating while staring at her roommate through the same window a week earlier.
According to the Sept. 5 report, an African-American man between 20 and 25 years old had his pants down while looking in at her roommate, whose shades were not drawn.
Police said the man fled before they arrived both times.
When the second incident occurred, Madison Police Department Spokesperson Joel DeSpain said, ""A police dog attempted to track the suspect, but the scent was lost in the 600 block of Langdon Street.""
""This would be one of those cases where downtown, and particularly on campus, people need to be aware that this has happened twice in this particular area, and just to be vigilant,"" said DeSpain.
DeSpain recommended area residents keep their windows covered and immediately contact police at the sign of similar suspicious activity.
