Police tell News 12 a Department of Education employee who works at P.723X in the Bronx was arrested and charged Tuesday with attempted lewdness.

They say 44-year-old Dana Barschdorf was in a classroom with students and put his genitals in a container that students could see.

News 12 reached out to the Department of Education which said, "This alleged behavior is completely unacceptable. This employee has been reassigned pending an investigation."
