Appeal after man exposed his genitals to teenage girl in Gloucester

The incident happened at around 3pm on Monday 5 May on the number 1 bus travelling to Matson.

It was reported that the girl got on the bus in Gloucester city centre and sat down at the back of the vehicle.

A short time later, as the bus reached Barton Street, she became aware that someone sat on the opposite side of the bus was waving at her to get her attention. When she looked over she saw that a man was exposing his penis.

The girl was scared and distressed by this and ran to tell the driver, who stopped the bus and told the suspect to get off at the St James Club stop on Barton Street. He then reported the incident to police.
