Man exposes himself at Longbridge railway station, Birmingham

Police investigating an allegation of indecent exposure at Longbridge railway station in Birmingham are appealing for the public’s help to trace a man they would like to speak to in connection with the incident.

Officers have today released a CCTV image of the man they believe will have information which can assist the investigation.

PC Salim Mohammed, the investigating officer, said the incident is alleged to have taken place on Tuesday, 3 January 2012.

“A female passenger alighted from a train at Longbridge station at about 10am and as she was passing the shelter on the platform, she noticed a man standing behind the shelter with his back to her,” PC Mohammed said.

“The woman initially thought the man was urinating but he then turned round and exposed himself to her, before running past her, turning to smile at her as he did so.

“Although uninjured, the woman was left shaken by the man’s unacceptable behaviour.

“Enquiries are ongoing to find the person responsible. After viewing CCTV images, I would now like to identify the man in this photograph as I believe he will have information which can assist police."

Anyone who recognises the men, or who knows their current whereabouts, is asked to contact British Transport Police on 0800 40 50 40, or the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. In all calls please quote log ref B5/WWA of 03/02/2012.
