      Police are searching for a man who allegedly exposed himself in a women's washroom at a university residence in Vancouver yesterday.

      After 9:45 p.m. on September 13, University RCMP received a call about an incident at a University of British Columbia (UBC) residence in the Lower Mall.

      A woman had been washing herself in a women-only shower room when a man spoke to her from another stall. When another woman walked into the room, she allegedly saw the man naked and masturbating.

      After the man dressed himself, several additional witnesses spoke to the man, who then fled by foot toward the Lower Mall before police arrived.

      Patrols failed to locate the man.

      He is described as South Asian or Middle Eastern with darker skin. He is about 1.7 metres (five-feet, seven-inches to five-feet, eight-inches) tall with an average build. He has curly hair that is dark on the sides but lighter on top, and appears to be about 30 to early 40s years old.

      He was wearing a light-coloured hoodie or long-sleeved shirt with grey sweatpants and a small diamond or crystal earring.

      University RCMP Detachment Commander Sgt. Chuck Lan issued a reminder in a news release that the public should always call 911 if a crime is in progress as "time is of utmost importance in any investigation, but more especially one that is in progress".

      Anyone who has information about this incident or can identify this man is asked to call University RCMP at 604-224-1322.
