A FLASHER targeted a woman as she walked through a park in Shaw Ridge yesterday.

The victim, a 20-year-old local woman, was going through Tubey Park at the back of the leisure complex at around 6pm and was passing the statue when she became aware of the man standing around four metres away.

He indecently exposed himself to her and then cycled off in the direction of the footbridge over Tewkesbury Way.

The man is described as aged in his 50s or 60s, and was wearing a dark burgundy jumper.

Anyone who may have witnessed the incident, or may know who the man is asked to contact police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
