A DeKalb County man is accused of exposing himself and performing a sex act on a MARTA train.

According to a warrant released Wednesday, Dontavia Tyrail Stewart, 24, was looking at a fellow passenger, a woman, while performing the act on himself.

It allegedly happened as the train pulled into the Chamblee station at 11:30 p.m. on Sept. 13, but Stewart wasn't arrested until Sunday.

A security camera captured the crime, the warrant said.

Further information wasn't released.
