A man has been quizzed by police on suspicion of flashing at a woman while sitting on a bench in a town centre.
Officers are investigating the report of indecent exposure which is said to have taken place in Gravesend.
Police are appealing for witnesses to help their investigation following the incident which is said to have happened in Garrick Street at about 3pm on March 20.
A 56-year-old man from the town has been arrested and questioned by officers and he remains under investigation.
But police say they are looking for more witnesses who may be able to help with inquiries.
PC Ben Slocombe, investigating officer, said: "We have reviewed various lines of enquiry, including checking for CCTV and interviewing a suspect.
"We do however believe there are several witnesses who have important information and are yet to get in contact with us.
"This includes the men who were sat with the man, nearby shoppers and some passengers who got off a bus that stopped nearby.
"If any of them have information that they believe can assist us, I would encourage them to contact us at their earliest convenience."
The suspect was described as being white, in his 50s and about 5ft 10ins tall.
He was said to be sitting on a bench with a group of men and was described as wearing a black leather jacket, a striped shirt, black trousers, black boots and a green and black scarf.
