Mounties in Nanaimo are searching for a man who exposed his genitalia to a woman on the city’s Vancouver Island University campus last week.

According to RCMP, the woman said she was walking between Building 205 and 210 around 6 p.m. on Dec. 6 when a stranger riding his bicycle stopped, dismounted and flashed her.

He made vulgar comments, got back on his bike and took off, police said in a Tuesday press release.

Anyone with information on the incident is asked to contact the Nanaimo detachment at 250-754-2345.
