STAMFORD, Conn. – Miley Cyrus may think her risqué public behavior is breaking new ground, but it doesn’t hold a candle to the actions of one Connecticut substitute teacher.

Police say 72-year-old Michael Luecke was arrested on Wednesday after a school paraprofessional discovered him lying in the hallway of Westhill High School at 7:33 a.m., with his hands down his pants masturbating, according to Courant.com.

The female school employee originally thought the man was lying on the ground because he was hurt.

After she realized what was really happening, the paraprofessional immediately notified school officials. Police later removed Luecke from the class he was overseeing, Courant.com reports.

A school surveillance camera captured most of the incident. According to police, Luecke is seen in the security video standing in a stairwell, looking at students in the courtyard and “suspiciously manipulating the front of his pants.”

The video then shows Luecke briefly disappear behind a bank of student lockers, then re-emerging into view to lie “on his back on the floor, which is where the paraprofessional found him,” Courant.com reports.

The video reveals that six students walked past the prone, self-pleasuring substitute teacher.

Notes DailyCaller.com: “It’s not clear if the students noticed Luecke, realized what he was doing or cared. Nevertheless, school officials as well as local police are working to identify the teenagers to see if they need counseling.”

Luecke is charged with public indecency, breach of peace and risk of injury to a minor, Courant.com reports. Police say the man has no prior criminal convictions – and that they will not be releasing the video.
