A suspect has been charged with committing an indecent act in a public place after Abbotsford police officers said they saw him doing so in a local park.
Police responded to a woman’s call about a man exposing himself to people at Elwood Park on May 3 around 9:30 a.m.
Officers found him in the bushes and “observed him performing a further indecent act,” police said in a Monday news release.
“The suspect observed the arriving officers and attempted to flee on foot but was intercepted by an officer and arrested,” it reads.
The 56-year-old suspect is in police custody until his court date. Anyone with information on the incident, including witnesses, is asked to contact the Abbotsford Police Department at 604-864-4702.
