A man was arrested after he allegedly exposed himself and then followed a woman in Victoria’s Fernwood neighbourhood over the weekend.
According to the Victoria Police Department, a man approached a woman, talked to her and then exposed himself to her at around 3 p.m. on Sunday (Sept. 25) at the intersection of Pandora Avenue and Chambers Street.
Police say after the man exposed himself, the woman left but was followed by the man for approximately four blocks before she was able to get away safely.
Officers were able to locate and arrest the suspect at a nearby park without incident.
