(KRON) — A man who tried to use a cellphone to record a woman in a bathroom at Red Morton Park in Redwood City on Aug. 24 has been arrested, according to the Redwood City Police Department.

The suspect, 32-year-old Wilson Velasquez Martinez of Redwood City, entered the women’ s restroom around 2:46 p.m. and attempted to record a 32-year-old woman from Vacaville using a bathroom stall, according to police.

“The [woman] screamed for help, and her husband along with other family members confronted the suspect,” the Redwood City Police Department said. 

Martinez allegedly left the park in a blue Honda Fit before police arrived. A warrant was issued for his arrest.

On Aug. 27, officers found and arrested Martinez. Officers also searched his home as part of an ongoing investigation. Martinez was ultimately booked into the San Mateo County Maguire Correctional Facility on an invasion of privacy charge for illegally recording inside a restroom.
