The woman was at an arts and crafts store looking at an item on a shelf when she felt someone touching the bottom of her leg, according to police.
When she looked down, police say she caught the man recording up her skirt with a cell phone.
That's when she yelled and the suspect ran out of the store, according to police.
Police released surveillance footage from inside the store showing the suspect when he walked in the store.
