The University RCMP is on the lookout for a man who allegedly exposed himself inside a women’s washroom at UBC’s Point Grey campus on Thursday.

The incident happened just after 9:45 p.m., when a woman who was showering in a women’s only washroom in a residence on UBC’s Lower Mall heard a man speaking to her from another stall.

A second woman then walked in and saw the man, who was allegedly naked and masturbating.

Several other witnesses spoke to the man, who dressed and fled on foot towards the Lower Mall, RCMP said.
