DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - Police are searching for a Peeping Tom who was caught by a woman as he recorded her taking a shower at the Planet Fitness on Camp Wisdom Road in Dallas on Monday morning.

"I'm staring where the curtain opens and that's when I see the edge of a black phone peeking in," described Diana, who did not want her last name reported. "And that's when I snatched the curtain. At the same time I cover myself with the curtain. I start screaming."

It happened just after midnight early Monday. The locker room was empty and people working out had on headphones. When Diana screamed, she said that no one responded. "Then he looks at me and starts to powerwalk out. He doesn't even run. Just powerwalks out."

Diana noticed the man staring at her creepily as she worked out at the 24-hour gym. Police were called and a report was filed.

Diana described the Peeping Tom as a black man in his mid-20s with a thin beard, wearing a Marines T-shirt. He was driving a black newer model Chevrolet Impala with a military license plate, according to Diana.

The victim said that she feels violated and scared, and wants the man caught so that he can't do something like this again. "It's really creepy," Diana stated. "It's like going into a dark house. You don't know what to expect. I didn't know who was in there. And the first thing that popped into my head, 'I have absolutely nothing to protect myself with.'"

A sexual assault detective will be at the gym on Tuesday to review the facility's surveillance video. Planet Fitness has not given a comment on the case. In the meantime, anybody with information about the suspect is urged to call Crime Stoppers.
