Police have appealed for information after a man exposed himself to a woman while she was out walking in broad daylight.
Julieanne Archer said she was out walking her dog near Fourteen Locks in Rogerstone, Newport on Thursday, March 4 at lunchtime when a man "fully exposed himself" to her.
"A man probably in his mid-20s passed me in the wooded area of Fourteen Locks, made eye contact, then exposed himself," she said.
Ms Archer said she then turned back to pull her dog away, at which point the man "fully exposed himself and continued playing with himself."
"He made noises and gestures, at which point I ran dragging my dog alongside me. No one was around which made me think he was there waiting for someone to pass," she added.
"He was wearing navy tracksuit bottoms and dark top."
Ms Archer added that she was shocked after the incident but thankful she was able to run away.
"I do worry about vulnerable people who are unable to run away [in those situations]," she said.
Officers from Gwent Police confirmed they are making enquiries following the incident.
