A MAN exposed himself to a 13-year-old while he was urinating in the street.

The school girl was walking in Cross Street, St Leonards, at around 5pm on Friday, September 12, when she saw a man beckoning her.

She ignored him and continued to walk past, but noticed he was holding his penis in his hand, gesturing towards it, and urinating.

PC Michaela Haddock said: "This girl did exactly the right thing and told her parents and police. The suspect is described as black, around 18-19-years-old, short and of a thin build. He was wearing a black T-shirt with a white design on the front, and possibly a black hat.

"This happened after school time and a lot of people might have seen this man in the area or recognise him from this description.
