Hunt for man in balaclava and dressing gown who flashed two women and 16-year-old

Police said the man tried to speak to the teenager but she walked away and managed to leave the area.

Then, just before 7pm, police were told a woman in her 40s had been approached by a man indecently exposing himself who tried to follow her before running away.

The man is described as white, at least 6ft tall, in his late teens to mid-20s, slim and was wearing a dark or black hoodie and balaclava.

He was also wearing a long blue dressing gown.

It comes as police continue to investigate another series of similar incidents - this time in Southampton Common.

These happened between April 14 and 16.

On April 14 at around 4pm, a man in his 30s was approached by an unknown man who then began shouting at him and making sexual comments.

On the same day, at around 9.10pm, a woman in her 30s was approached by an unknown man who exposed himself to her whilst trying to make conversation.

Then on April 16 at around 4.30pm, it was reported that a man had exposed himself to a woman in her 30s on a footpath.

When asked if the police were linking the two series of incidents, a force spokesman said it was “keeping an open mind and the investigation and enquiries continue” - but did not go as far as to say they were linking them.

No arrests have been made.
