Oakleigh Detectives are appealing for public assistance following a wilful and obscene exposure on Saturday 7 July.

At approximately 11.10am an 11 and 12 year old girl were walking a dog in Barkly Street when a man walked past them.

The man then pretended to tie his shoe laces before approaching the girls to say hello.

As he approached the girls he laughed and pulled the small black mini skirt he was wearing up and exposed himself to the girls.

The man then ran west down Barkly Street towards Canterbury Road.

He is described as being in his mid 30’s, Caucasian, light brown hair, clean shaven, wearing a red beanie, grey top possibly a t-shirt or singlet, black socks, blue and white sports shoes and a very small black mini skirt.
