File this one under Metro horror stories.
Metro Transit Police say 25-year-old Northeast resident Lawrence Nathaniel Harris turned himself in on Friday morning after the agency released a warrant for his arrest for allegedly putting a “fluid-filled condom” on a female rider’s shoulder. The incident occurred on a Largo-bound Blue line train on May 24, according to Metro, and the woman wasn’t physically harmed. The agency said in a release yesterday that Harris had made arrangements to turn himself in but didn’t appear.
