Police hunt man in Falkirk who indecently exposed himself

A woman has been left “extremely upset” after a man grabbed her arm and indecently exposed himself in Falkirk.

It happened in the Langlees area of the town around 5.30pm on Saturday 17th October.

The 40 year-old woman was walking on footpath near David’s Loan when the man appeared from the bushes. He ran off afterwards, possibly in the direction of the sewage works.

Police describe him as slim, white, in his late 30s or early 40s with short black hair. He was wearing a black jacket, a black tracksuit and white trainers.

Inspector Bill Donohoe said: “Fortunately the woman was not injured but she has been left extremely upset by what happened.

“I am appealing to anyone who may have been in the area at the time and seen anything to get in touch, particularly if they saw this man before or after the incident.

“If you can help please call Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 2983 of Saturday, 17 October, 2020, or make a call anonymously to the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
