A FLASHER exposed himself to a woman in Loveclough Park in Rossendale.

As the 38-year-old woman was walking her dog through the park on Sunday at around 8.50am, a man jumped out of some bushes and pulled down his shorts and asked her to perform a sex act on him.

The woman shouted and ran away before calling the police. She described the man as 5ft 8ins tall, in his early 40s, wearing a dark blue cap and shorts, having distinctive pock marks all over his face and speaking with a local accent.

Anybody with information about the incident should call police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
