Police are appealing for witnesses after a man indecently exposed himself to two women at Edinburgh's Bruntsfield Links on Thursday night (May 9th).

A 22-year-old woman and her friend (age unknown) were walking west along the path at about 11pm, when a man overtook them. He then turned round and exposed himself to the women, while walking past them in the opposite direction towards the Meadows.

The suspect is described as being white, with a tanned or grubby complexion, and aged in his late 30s or 40s, and between 5ft 9 and 5ft 11 ins tall. He has very thick, dark, wavy, shoulder length hair with some grey flecks through it, shorter at the sides than the back. He was wearing a khaki-coloured peaked hat, a green or khaki-coloured T-shirt, beige knee-length shorts, and brownish coloured walking boots.

A police spokeswoman said: 'This has been an extremely unpleasant experience for the women involved. We are looking to talk to anyone who may have any information about the incident to come forward as soon as possible.'

Anyone with any information should contact Lothian and Borders Police on 0131 311 3131, or Crimestoppers in confidence and complete anonymity on 0800 555 111.
