Police are appealing for witnesses after a man exposed himself to a woman in Kidlington.

At about 7.30pm on Tuesday, as the woman waited to get on a number 2A bus from Oxford city centre towards Kidlington she noticed a man standing close behind her.

Both the man and the woman got on the bus and travelled to Kidlington before both got off at the junction between High Street and Foxdown Close.

As she walked along Foxdown Close, the man asked the victim what the time was. After she replied he asked her if she had five minutes before lunging at her and exposing himself.

The woman then screamed and ran off. It is not known where the suspect went.

He is described as white, aged between 18 and 25, of big build, with fair hair, and a round face. He had a local accent.

He wore a white knitted hat with side flaps and a grey hooded top.

Det Insp Steve Duffy said: “This was a frightening incident which left the victim shaken and it is important we identify who this individual is.

“I am keen to hear from anyone travelling on the 2A bus at 7.30pm on Tuesday evening, anyone who saw this man after the incident or anyone who recognises the description of the offender.”

Anyone with information should contact Det Insp Duffy at the Thames Valley Police Enquiry Centre on 0845 8 505 505. Information can also be given anonymously to the Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111.
