It happened around 3 p.m. on Tuesday, about two blocks from York House School, according to police.

Investigators said one of the students noticed a man sitting in a dark-coloured sedan near the intersection of Laurier Street and Alexandra Street, and she saw him exposing himself when she walked past.
