Man Exposes Himself To Woman In Waltham Park

WALTHAM, MA — A man exposed himself to a woman who was walking a dog at Elsie Turner Park Wednesday evening, and now police are asking residents to be on the alert.

Just as it was getting dark on Wednesday a woman walking a dog in the park near the wood line crossed paths with a man who exposed himself to her. She called police and the man ran off.

"We do not have much of a description to go on other than a tall male, wearing a black hoodie and jeans," police said in an email to Patch.

The man spoke English during the encounter, police said.

Police sent out several cars right after 5:30 p.m., including a K-9 from Weston police to search the area, but didn't find anyone.

Police are asking that if anyone sees any suspicious people hanging around the park to call 911 and to be aware of your surroundings while in that area.
