A man masturbated while walking down a busy Dundee main road, a court has heard.
Michael Bajek exposed himself on West Marketgait before walking towards a nearby pub.
Even when he walked past two women he didn’t stop and then turned back to leer at them as he passed, continuing his solo sex act.
Depute fiscal Kirsten Thomson told Dundee Sheriff Court that Bajek was caught after police CCTV operators spotted him.
She said at 3.40am police control staff were watching the area of West Marketgait on CCTV and saw the accused walking on the road and noticed he was exposed.
Miss Thomson said: “Officers continued to watch on CCTV between 3.43am and 3.48am approximately five minutes.
“He is clearly seen during this time walking down the street in the area of West Marketgait and clearly masturbating whilst walking down the street.
“He walked towards West Bar where there are two females standing.
“They don’t appear to notice what he was doing.”
Police officers attended and traced Bajek, at which time he was still exposing himself.
He was arrested and taken to police HQ where he was found to have 0.3 grams of cannabis in his pocket.
First offender Bajek, 29, of Harefield Road, Dundee, pleaded guilty on summary complaint to a charge of public indecency committed on March 14 this year.
Douglas Williams, defending, said: “He is in a state of shock having watched the CCTV. He remembers nothing of it as he was drunk.”
Sheriff Alistair Brown deferred sentence until next month for social work background reports.
