Cops said on April 4, a woman was running on the trail system when she noticed a male pass her on a bike.

Police allege that after completing her jog further down the trail, the female noticed the same suspect walking towards her with his pants undone and she confronted him, prompting him to run in the opposite direction.

Cops said the suspect did not speak to her or touch her but they believe this suspect may be responsible for three similar alleged offences taking place between June and October of 2024.

In each of the incidents in the trail systems north of Dundas St. between Sixth Line and Neyagawa Blvd., the suspect allegedly exposed himself or appeared to be committing an indecent act and did not speak or physically touch any victim.
