Hats have suffered many losses in the past twenty years. From the troublesome Ashton Kutcher trucker hat era to the rise and immediate laming of fedoras, the world of hats is more fragmented than ever. Here to further complicate one's potential affinity for hats is a recent subway masturbator in New York. According toGothamist, the NYPD is currently searching for "a public lewdness suspect who allegedly masturbated on a subway last week."

Authorities are asking that any sightings of the subway hat masturbator are reported via their Crime Stoppers page. Watch the video of the incident below, hat and all:
