Thin skin? Rabbit ears?

People who expose themselves to the public should be prepared for critical reviews and handle them better than this fellow.

Any guesses what the two women said to him?

Everyone's a critic.

DA: He was an angry flasher

Steven Phillips, 32, of Dorchester, was ordered to Bridgewater for 20 days of observation before being arraigned on two counts of counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and single count of open and gross lewdness, the Suffolk County DA's office reports.

According to the DA's office, Phillips began talking to some teens waiting for the bus on Talbot Avenue. He misheard something they said, got angry, exposed himself, then walked away, the DA's office says. But when the two victims got on the bus, they found Phillips already on:

Phillips immediately engaged them in additional unwanted conversation, first offering the observation, "So you decided to take the bus" and soon telling the 18-year-old victim to "suck a [expletive]."

The words escalated to violence when Phillips allegedly assaulted the 19-year-old victim. The younger victim attempted to help her and later told Transit Police that she didn't realize they had been stabbed until she fled from the bus.

Phillips slashed the younger victim in the chest, arm and head and the older one in the cheek, prosecutors charge. Both were taken to Boston Medical Center for treatment. Phillips was picked up after, witnesses say, he tossed his silver-handled knife down a storm drain. He is due back in court Nov. 10.
