POLICE are hunting a man who exposed himself to a teenager in Redhill before following her.
The woman was walking along Carlton Road between around 2pm and 2.30pm on Tuesday when she saw a man sitting on a wall touching himself inappropriately.
She quickly walked away but the man attempted to follow her. She managed to lose sight of him a short time later. At no point did he speak to her or make physical contact.
It is the latest in a series of indecent exposure incidents in East Surrey, following crimes in Caterham and Reigate last week.
Investigating officer PC Michael Barker from East Surrey CID, said of the latest case: "This incident was obviously upsetting for the victim and I would appeal to anyone who saw anything suspicious in the area around the time of the offence to contact officers with information.
"I would like to praise the bravery of the victim who was able to provide officers with a detailed description of the offender and I hope someone will be able to provide us with information which will enable us to bring this man to justice."
The offender is described as a white man, around 5ft 9in in height, aged between 25 to 30, of skinny build and with an "unkempt" appearance. He was wearing baggy beige chinos and a baggy green camouflage thigh-length jacket, with a dark-coloured top underneath.
Anyone who has information on this incident is urged to contact police on 101 quoting reference RB/13/3309 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
