The term garbage man is given a new meaning by this guy.

A Department of Sanitation worker driving a city street sweeper tried to avoid a woman being sexually assault by a moped driver in a Brooklyn gutter by ignoring the dirty deed and continuing on his route, video released by the NYPD shows.

The video shows the woman walking down Church Ave. in East Flatbush at 2 a.m. on March 31 when her attacker pulls up on his bike and approaches her.

There is no audio of the attack, but the two seem to exchange words.

He knocked her into the road after hitting her in the face.

The recording shows him getting back on his bike and heading down Church Ave. before pulling a U-turn and coming back to the woman on the street.

That is when the sexual assault begins. The man ripped at the woman's clothing and pulled one garment off her.

Traffic can be seen in the background as they struggle.

The attacker allows the woman to get to the curb where she sits, as he opens her belongings.

Then the street sweeper, with its lights on, enters the picture, riding down the curb until he gets to where the bike is parked in what appears to be a bus stop and swings out in the street and continues out of the frame without stopping or slowing down.

The mugger seems to lose interest in his prey as he leaves the woman at the curb.

The victim did not need medical attention.

The Sanitation Department did not respond to calls or email.

Anyone with information about the attacker is asked to call Crime Stoppers.
