A MAN indecently exposed himself to a 73-year-old woman.

A Northumbria Police spokesman said the woman was walking her dogs on Black Lane in the Eighton Banks area of Gateshead, at about 11.45am on Wednesday, August 1.

As she was walking in the area she passed a man she did not know who then exposed himself.

He did not speak to the woman, or approach her in anyway, but the incident did make her feel alarmed and distressed.

The offender has then made off in a large silver car, described as possibly a 4x4 or large hatchback, which had been parked on Black Lane.

The suspect is described as white, aged in his mid to late 40s, around 5ft 9ins tall, of medium build and with very fair hair or balding. He was wearing dark trousers and a grey sweatshirt.

  • The man, anyone who knows his identity or anyone who saw him in the area at the time is encouraged to call 101 quoting log 611 01/08/18 or email the OIC on 2486@northumbria.pnn.police.uk.
