A South Farmingdale man was arrested Friday on a charge of public lewdness after allegedly exposing himself to a woman praying inside a Nassau County church, Nassau County police said.

Leroy Jamison 29, of 74 Adams St., entered Our Lady of Lourdes Church on Carmans Road in Massapequa Park at about 1 p.m. Thursday and exposed himself to a 64-year-old woman who was kneeling in prayer, police said.

Jamison is scheduled to be arraigned on the charge Friday in First District Court in Hempstead.
