BAY RIDGE, Brooklyn (WABC) -- Police confirm that an MTA employee was arrested after he allegedly exposed himself to two young girls in two separate incidents in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn.

Matthew Wohlfahrt, 28, was charged with grand larceny, endangering the welfare of a child and public lewdness.

Police said the first incident happened around 4:30 p.m. Monday near Ridge Boulevard and Fort Hamilton Park when Wohlfahrt, who was driving a gray Toyota minivan, approached a 14-year-old girl walking with a friend. He asked her for directions, and during that interaction, he exposed himself.

The second incident happened around 4:30 p.m. Thursday on Colonial Road when Wohlfahrt, inside a parked dark SUV, asked an 11-year-old girl for directions to McDonald's. He then asked her to get inside his car, and as the victim got closer, she saw his exposed genitals.
