A man indecently exposed himself in a family park during one of two reported flashing incidents in the East Barnet area.

The offender, described as being in his late teens, exposed himself to a 39-year-old woman in Oak Hill Park, which is popular with families and children.

The woman was walking near the junction of Littlegrove and Brookside when the young man exposed himself on Wednesday, July 31, at 7.45pm.

He is described by police as 5ft tall and black.

East Barnet councillor Robert Rams said: “Oakhill Park is the most wonderful and family-friendly park.

"I find it deeply disturbing to hear that there has been a flasher in this park – I hope that the police catch them very quickly.”

The report came 24 hours after another man, described as aged between 20 and 25, 6ft tall and white, flashed a young woman in Brunswick Park.

The 21-year-old woman was walking her dog along Oakleigh Road North at 2.15pm when the man exposed himself near to the junction with Myddelton Park.

Police are appealing for any witnesses to either incident to telephone them on the non-emergency number 101.

Police are investigating reports of flashers in Oak Hill Park (A) and Oakleigh Road North (B)
