A shocked student at the University of Kent photographed a man she spotted indecently exposing himself outside her home.

The student snapped the man in Marley Court, Park Wood, on the university's Canterbury campus on Friday afternoon.

She posted a message on Facebook saying: "To the guy that drove into Park Wood and got naked...please stop."

One of the student's housemates told university website The Tab: "My friend told me to look out the window and I was completely shocked to see a guy crouching, naked.

"I cracked up and was mainly confused as to why he’d bothered to take off his shoes.”

The housemate added: “He checked all the windows to make sure no one was looking, he was really wary.”

Police spokesman Adam Westgarth said: "Kent Police received a report at 2.30pm of a man indecently exposing himself in the Park Wood area of Canterbury on Friday, November 7.

"The incident is reported to have occurred at 12pm. Officers are currently making enquiries."

University Security Manager, Leigh Stevenson said: "Campus Watch, the university’s 24- hour security team, are working with police to investigate this incident. Eye witness statements have been taken and footage from CCTV cameras, which are present across the campus, is also being examined thoroughly.

"Students can be reassured that we have also increased our security patrols, particularly in the Park Wood area of the campus.’
