Police are hunting a dawn flasher who distressed a woman in her 40s.

The man at first ran past her, then stopped and walked back towards her, indecently exposing himself.

It happened at about 6.20am on Tuesday, April 3 on a footpath between Park Farm Road and Radnor Park Road in Folkestone.

PC Elena Tyler said: "The woman does not believe there was anyone else around as it was early morning.

"But we want to ensure that there have been no other incidents of indecent exposure that perhaps women have not reported to police.

The suspect in this case is described as white, in his 30s, 5ft 6in and of slim build.

He was wearing a black beanie hat, green combat trousers and a dark blue hooded top with white writing or a logo on the front.

Anyone with information should contact Kent Police on 101, giving reference number ZY/9262/12.
