25-Year-Old Man Arrested Over Indecent Exposure Incidents In Manchester

A 25-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a series of indecent exposures in Manchester City Centre.

He is charged with four counts of exposure and is due before Manchester and Salford Magistrates' Court on 15 July 2015.

On 13 July 2015, police were informed of four separate incidents where a man was seen exposing himself, and then performing a sexual act upon himself, near the Arndale Centre in Manchester city centre.

The first offence took place on a bus travelling from Middleton to Manchester. The offender got on at the Tesco stop in Blackley, sat next to a woman and her friend, and performed a sex act upon himself.

He then exposed himself a further three times in and around the Arndale Centre shops, including the Tesco store, the WH Smith store and the Superdry store.

Anyone who has information or who has been affected by this investigation should call police on 101 or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
