Hunt perv caught in a flash
Fone gives cops pic of subway suspect
Image from cell phone camera belonging to subway rider Thao Nguyen captures shot of man (below) she says leered at her and exposed himself aboard R train last week.
When a pervert exposed himself on a Manhattan subway last week, Thao Nguyen reached for her secret weapon - her camera phone.
The quick-thinking 22-year-old snapped a shot of the smirking sicko, took it to cops and then posted it on the Internet.
Word of her campaign to nail the flasher raced through cyberspace, and more than 45,000 people had viewed the photographic evidence by last night.
'I just hope they catch him,' Nguyen told the Daily News.
'Maybe someone will recognize him. Maybe it will stop other people from doing it,' she said. 'Maybe other women will use their camera phones to stop crime.'"
