SOUTHINGTON, CT — A 64-year-old man was cited for public indecency after an incident at a Southington McDonald's, police said.

According to a police report, at about 8 p.m. on July 22, officers were dispatched to the McDonald's at 675 Queen St. after receiving a report about a man exposing himself. Police said a witness reported that a "white male" parked his vehicle in the next space over, exposed himself and then began performing a sexual act while looking directly at the car of the witness.

The man had "salt/pepper hair" and appeared to be in his late 40s to early 50s, police said. The witness was able to obtain a photograph of the man and his car, police said.
