The incident happened on Wednesday at Buchanan Park.

A Huntsville father told Ãå±±ÂÖ¼é News about a shocking and disturbing discovery at a local park for him and his two-year-old.

Aaron Schell says he was disgusted and disturbed after watching a man pleasure himself in the park.

“Nope, something is not right here," Schell said. "My gut feeling is never wrong.†That's when Schell said he got a feeling something was not quite right at Buchanan Park Wednesday morning.

He said five minutes into them being at the park, a white car pulled up. After a couple of minutes, Schell said he noticed a man wearing sunglasses and a hat in the car staring at them.

“He was staring pretty hard through his rearview and side mirrors a lot, and that's when I started getting creeped out. And that's when I decided to head to my car in the first place because I was noticing him almost breaking his neck, really hard to look at me and my daughter," said Schell.

Schell said when they were in the car, he looked out his window and saw the man pleasuring himself.

Schell then said he got back out of his car to approach the man and that's when he said the man threw the car into gear and almost ran him over getting out of there.

“I’m just trying to have a good time with my daughter out here, and it has to be ruined by some sick, disturbed individual," said Schell. 

The Huntsville Police Department said they are aware of this incident and are in the process of investigating. They told Ãå±±ÂÖ¼é they plan on going through camera footage to track down the car and then the individual whose identity is unknown right now. 

Schell said that for now he and his daughter will find somewhere else to play. “We need to do whatever we need to do as parents to keep our children safe, and that means going to whatever extreme."

As police look further into this, they are asking for the community's help. They encourage folks to utilize their .
