Police said the path where the man was found is frequented by families, children, dog walkers, and is also used for fishing. The area was busy at the time, and police said several witnesses reported being "shocked and alarmed" after encountering the man by the riverbank.

The man, later identified as Richard Wuschke, 65, of Mansfield, was arrested and booked on charges of open and gross lewdness and disorderly conduct at the Marshfield Police Station.

Marshfield police said this isn't the first time they've dealth with Wuschke. They had previously charged him with indecent exposure and disorderly conduct after a similar incident at Library Plaza last May where he was seen in front of a local business wearing only a T-shirt and socks.
