HALIFAX – Halifax Regional Police are looking for a suspect involved in an indecent act after a man was reported to have masturbated in public last week in Halifax.

On June 26, police say a man attempted to climb to a second floor balcony of a building on Andrew Street. He wasn’t successful, and went to the back of the building, where he pulled his pants down and masturbated next to the back door.
