MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – Police arrested a 43-year-old man after accusing him of masturbating in front of three teenage girls on a Miami-Dade Metrobus on Tuesday afternoon.
According to an arrest report, Edwin Tyrone Lee looked at the girls as he exposed himself and masturbated on the bus at around 1 p.m. as it traveled near Southwest 112th Avenue and 248th Street in the county’s Princeton area.
Miami-Dade police said the girls, two of whom were 14 and the other 16, notified the driver, who called police.
Authorities said officers took Lee, who is homeless, into custody; he invoked his right to an attorney.
Lee, facing two counts of lewd and lascivious exhibition on a child and one count of indecent exposure, was being held in the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on a $15,000 bond, jail records show.

Girl, 12, shot while sitting in parked car in northwest Miami-Dade, deputies say
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A 12-year-old girl was shot in the arm after gunfire erupted in a northwest Miami-Dade neighborhood early Tuesday morning, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies said they responded just before 1 a.m. to the area of Northwest 64th Street and Northwest 21st Avenue in the county’s Gladeview area, where they found three vehicles struck by gunfire, including a silver Hyundai.
“The car was parked outside of the residence. It was occupied by three juveniles, so it was the girl and her two siblings that were in the vehicle. The mom was outside of the vehicle at the time, so this could have been a very different outcome,” MDSO Detective Samantha Choon said.
Authorities said Miami-Dade Fire Rescue medics transported the girl to a nearby hospital in stable condition.
A family member of the victim told Local 10’s Jackie Pascale that the girl is now home and doing OK.
They said neither her siblings nor their mother was injured in the shooting.
According to investigators, no arrests have been made, and detectives have not released any suspect information at this time.
Neighbor Marie Grimes said she was shaken after hearing multiple gunshots.
“I heard the booms — boom, boom, boom, boom — and I said, ‘Oh my God, what’s happening?’” she said. “Maybe five or six, ’cause look at that right there. I’m just glad the little girl is OK.”
Investigators asked neighbors to check their surveillance or Ring camera footage from around 1 a.m. and contact authorities with any information.
Anyone with information on the shooting is urged to contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477. Anonymous tips are accepted.
