A group of adolescent girls were startled into screaming flight when a man, clad only in an unbuttoned jacket, dismounted from his Range Rover in front of them. The incident took place in front of the Diamond Mall, an upscale shopping center on the periphery of one of Santo Domingo’s most fashionable neighborhoods. The mother of one of the girls, Nani Martínez, an official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said that as she and her daughter and friends were leaving a restaurant, "a gray-haired man in his 50’s" stepped out of his luxurious vehicle totally naked from the waist down. "He wore an unbuttoned jacket, and nothing else." Several employees of nearby shops responded to the girls’ screams, and chased the man back to his jeep, in which quickly sped away.
