A Stratford man accused of masturbating in the parking lot of Walter Stewarts Market was arrested last Friday by New Canaan police.
Mariusz Borowski, 33, of Stratford, was charged with second-degree breach of peace and public indecency. Police said Borowski was in the parking lot of the grocery store at about 11:40 a.m. A woman noticed Borowski masturbating in a red van as she walked by, police said. The woman called police, and Borowski was arrested as he was trying to leave the parking lot. Borowski told police he was working with a construction company and was dusting off his pants.
