Naked man driving harasses Atlanta jogger, pleasuring himself in front of her, she says
ATLANTA – A jogger recently endured a terrifying encounter no woman should have to face. A man exposed himself to her along Park Drive, right in front of Virginia-Highland Elementary School.
It happened just after 8 a.m. last Wednesday as Flora Anthony was running near the school.
“This guy pulled up right behind me in a car,” Anthony said.
She told FOX 5 the move made her feel uncomfortable, so she tried to ignore him.
“I continued running, and I pretended like I didn’t see him,” she said. “He harassed me further.”
She told FOX 5 the man in the car continued to follow her. She grew more concerned.
“How do I get away? How do I not interact with this person?” she remembered thinking to herself.
That’s when the man asked her a question.
“He said ,‘Where’s the nearest hospital?’”
Anthony stopped to answer, but saw something disgusting.
This is a generic photo of a car, not an evidence photo of the vehicle the wanted male was driving.
“I looked into the car, and he was completely nude,” she said. “He was pleasuring himself, frightening women and girls.”
“When I picked up my phone and took and image, he sped off very quickly,” Anthony said.
Anthony reported the crime to police. She says this was a form of sexual assault, and no one should be forced to endure it.
“It’s un-asked for. There’s no consent involved,” Anthony said. “It’s intimidating, and scary because there’s a crazy look in his eyes that I’m not used to seeing.”
Atlanta police told FOX 5 they are investigating the situation.
That man was last seen driving a blue, two-door Chevy. The license-plate number is: TSC-4133. Police say the state on the plate was unclear.
Please call police if you have any information on this man.

Quavo’s ‘Huncho Farms’ Event Provides Food to 500 Atlanta Families
On Thursday, Quavo and the team at Quavo Cares hosted their second annual Huncho Farms in partnership with the Atlanta Community Food Bank and the Atlanta City Council. Supporting seniors who are raising their grandchildren, Quavo Cares continues to pursue its mission to support communities facing food scarcity. The marketplace offered live music and holiday-themed activities for their 500 families in addition to a custom Huncho Farms cookbook containing timeless, nutritional, and easy-to-make holiday recipes.
After the success of last year’s event, this year’s Huncho Farms was inspired by local farmers markets with tents carrying fresh produce, meat, bread, pastries, and more. Quavo — who was named Variety’s Hitmakers Humanitarian of the Year earlier this month for his work in gun control — made a special appearance alongside Atlanta Councilwoman Andrea Boone, HOPE Hustlers, a leading criminal violence intervention, CVI, organization based in Atlanta that is part of The Rocket Foundation’s SPARK grants program collective.
“I’m so grateful that Quavo and the Quavo Cares Foundation chose this community for their Huncho Farms event this year,” Boone said. “This neighborhood is situated in a food desert, where a vast number of grandparents are raising their grandchildren. Food costs are exorbitant, making it more difficult for people to address their basic needs. This farmer’s market-style food drive will assist many hard-working people who deserve to have healthy fresh food and vegetable options this holiday season. Thanks to the generosity of the Quavo Cares Foundation, our residents will enjoy a beautiful Christmas dinner.”
Quavo Cares received a $150,000 grant from the Tender Foundation in support of single Black mothers through their guaranteed income program. After the drive-thru’s success, the event expanded and became Huncho Farms. With a focus on communities facing food insecurities,
Quavo Cares has previously partnered with Walmart, Feeding America, New Bethel Ministries, and the Atlanta Community Food Bank to foster community and serve families from Gwinnett, Fulton and Dekalb counties.
