Guelph police are investigating after receiving reports of an indecent act that allegedly took place early Tuesday morning.
Police say a woman was walking along a bike path located in the Edinburgh Road North and Willow Road area of the city just before 5:55 a.m. when she crossed paths with a man walking with his bicycle.
The man then reportedly exposed himself to the woman and attempted to initiate a conversation before the woman ran away and contacted police.
The suspect is being described as a white man of about 35 years old who stands five feet six inches tall and has a medium build.
He was seen wearing a dark sweater, a light-coloured undershirt and possibly a tuque, police say.
Police say he could be seen riding a bicycle that appeared to be too small for him.
Anyone with additional information is asked to contact Guelph police through Const. Meghan Hern at 519-824-1212 ext. 7138 or via email at mhern@guelphpolice.ca
