Suspect Wanted for Touching Woman on Metro Train Has Lengthy Arrest Record

A man wanted for touching a woman's thigh on a Metro train this summer has a lengthy arrest record for similar behavior, including putting a condom filled with fluid on a woman's shoulder last year, Metro said.

Lawrence N. Harris, 24, inappropriately touched a woman on a Blue Line train on July 10, Metro police said.

Harris was also seen on video approaching other woman and trying to talk to them. Metro officials said the video showed the women were uncomfortable.

In May 2016, Harris was arrested for putting a fluid-filled condom on a woman on a Blue Line train. Metro said he received one year of probation for the offense.

Harris has been arrested three other times in the past, twice for indecent exposure and once for a misdemeanor sex assault, Metro said.

Police said Harris is 6 foot 3 inches tall and weighs 175 pounds.
