Bedfordshire Police are keen to hear from anyone who may have seen a man exposing himself in Bedford Park on Friday afternoon (September 21).

The incident happened at around 4.50pm when the 28-year-old victim was walking besides the childrens play area in Bedford Park, Park Avenue. The victim saw a man standing next to some bushes between the lake and the tennis courts but when she walked past, she saw that the man was masturbating.
