CHEEKTOWAGA, N.Y. (WKBW) — A man who allegedly expected to meet a minor at Walden Galleria in Cheektowaga was confronted by members of an online group who had been posing as a teenager for weeks.

New video shows the disturbing moments when the man, wearing a green jacket, arrived at the mall thinking he was meeting a 15-year-old boy. Instead, he was met with cameras and a confrontation that lasted almost an hour.

Nicky Sal runs the Upstate New York watchdog group that targets alleged predators. He said the group spent weeks tracking the man by posing as the teenager.

The man admitted to interacting online with minors before saying, "I don't usually get to the point of meeting," and "I regret having done this now."
