A man with a camera was arrested at Seattle’s Home Show after taking photos up women’s skirts.

Jennifer DeMarre tells KING 5 she thought the man was suspicious when he was a standing a little too close.

“I thought he wanted help and I wondered why he was so close to me.”

Her nearby husband saw that the man was using a shoe camera to photograph his wife from the floor. He then tackled the man, and with the help of an off-duty police officer, the man was taken into custody.

“I’m concerned that he could go there this next week when the women’s event is going on,” said DeMarre. “I’m concerned that they’re just going to let him in and he’s going to keep doing this to ladies.”

DeMarre said the hardest thing is explaining what happened to her 9-year old daughter, who witnessed the whole thing.
