A FLASHER left a woman shocked and shaken when he exposed himself to her as she walked home.

The 55-year-old was walking along the footpath from Milton Ponds towards Shaftsbury Drive, Hoyland, on September 15.

She had nearly reached Pine Close when a male, who had been walking in front of her, left the path and reappeared behind her. He tapped her on the shoulder and was seen to be exposing himself.

He was described as white, in his late teens to early 20s about 5'8', skinny, with short dark hair, wearing a light blue and brown hooded jumper, grey sports bottoms and light trainers.

Anyone with information should call police on 736030 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
