Police are investigating an alleged indecent exposure in Clapham.
A
woman was walking on Clapham Common Southside on Saturday evening when she
witnessed a man expose himself.
The
man is described as white, aged approximately 50 years old, around 5ft 6inches
tall with grey hair.
He
was wearing a red waistcoat or vest over a shirt and light coloured trousers.
Detective
Constable Luke Flood from the Central South Command Unit which polices Lambeth
said:
“I am appealing to anyone who was in the area and can help identify
the man involved to contact police. Clapham Common was extremely busy on
Saturday evening with people who had attended the vigil; many people would
have been filming or taking pictures.
"I
would ask anyone to check any material they captured and see if they can
identify the man described.
“We
also cannot discount that there may have been other instances of this nature in
and around the Clapham Common area so I would urge anyone who has witnessed get
in contact.
“An
incident of indecent exposure can be an extremely distressing offence for those
who witness it and it is one police take very seriously. Officers have spoken
to the woman to offer her support and ensure she is kept updated with the
progress of the investigation.”
Anyone who can assist
police is asked to contact 101 or tweet @MetCC and quote CAD2602/18Mar.
