Police Capture Exhibitionist Stripping in Radcliffe Quad

An unidentified man was overcome and captured at about 10 p.m. last night after he tried to undress in front of Eliot Hall in the Radcliffe quadrangle. Eugene Pell '59 and another undergraduate assisted the night watchman in subduing the offender.

Pell said that he was walking on Shepard St. in front of Eliot when he noticed two men scuffling on the porch of the hall. At first, Pell said, he thought nothing of it, but as he noticed more fighting, he turned around to help the night watchman. Another Harvard student also appeared on the scene to assist.

The Cambridge police are holding the man for "exposing himself" and "disturbing the peace."
