A Boston man knew he chose the wrong day to go on a flashing spree when a woman chased him down and confronted his perverted antics back in mid-July.
"I told him I'm going to get him: 'I'm going to get you, darling!'" Aia, who only gave her first name, told reporters about the encounter, according to WBTS-TV.
Aia, a mother and former Israeli soldier, was jogging along Memorial Drive road in the city when the alleged flasher showed parts of his body that she wasn’t intent on seeing.
At first she thought the “flash” was unintentional but when the man did it a second time she knew what he was aiming for, that’s when she went after him.
"I was not ready to see his little [expletive]. I'm not doing that no. Just no. It's not right,” she said. "It was not his lucky day — because I decided to chase him down.”
As NBC Boston reports:
On surveillance footage released by police, Aia can be seen jogging along Memorial Drive near Vassar Street around 7:30 a.m. July 18 and passing by a man walking in the other direction. Aia appears to react almost instantly, pulling a U-turn, quickly overtaking the fleeing suspect and physically detaining him.
"When I was holding him down, he was terrified," Aia said. "He was really, really scared."
The former Israeli soldier held the man down for about five minutes but he escaped when she pulled out her phone and attempted to call 911.
Massachusetts police are still looking for the man but because of what Aia did, their jobs might be a little easier in identifying him.

"Where I come from and how I grew up, we don't just walk by. We don't just ignore it … I have a daughter, and it could be my daughter next to him — and she's not going to be that," Aia said. "If you want to call it bravery for what I did, yeah, it's for the ones after me.”
