A Hispanic man allegedly pulled down his trousers in front of a young woman Monday afternoon, the juvenile victim told police.
Santa Monica Police officers responded to the report of indecent exposure on the 900 block of Michigan Avenue, but the suspect already had fled in his vehicle.
Officers spoke to the juvenile victim, who said she was standing on the sidewalk when the suspect approached her in his vehicle. The man reportedly exposed his penis to the victim, who immediately ran away.
The suspect then fled the scene — driving eastbound on Michigan Avenue and southbound on 10th Street.
Police say the suspect is a male Hispanic in his mid 30s, of average height and weight. He wears a mustache and a goatee. At the time of the incident he was wearing a backwards black baseball cap, a black T-shirt, black pants and dark sunglasses.
The suspect’s vehicle is described as a newer model, dark green, 4-door with beige leather interior.
Anyone with additional information is encouraged to contact the Youth Services Division of the Santa Monica Police Department at (310) 458-8451.
