He was thought to be taking pictures of children on a cellphone.
A concerned mom, who has since said she does not want to be identified, said the man made her feel uneasy.
The mother was at the park with her children when she said the man walked by really slowly.
“Five minutes later he walked by again – even slower this time – and kept stopping to watch the kids,” she said in a Facebook post in a warning to other mothers.
“I noticed right away so I turned to face him and caught him with his camera out about to take pictures of my kids.”
The mother said the man put the phone away and started to walk away when she pulled out her cellphone to take his picture.
She then called police to report the incident.
