Cops Seek Info On Possible Flasher On Nearby Derry Rail Trail

DERRY, NH — Police are investigating a possible indecent exposure incident on the Derry Rail Trail Wednesday.

Around 1 p.m., police were sent to the area of Bowers Road to speak to a woman who claimed a man flashed her while on the trail. She said she was walking alone when she saw the man, according to Capt. Vern Thomas of the Derry Police Department. As she approached his location, “he pulled the front of his pants down, exposing his genitals to her,” he said.

“He then pulled his pants up and walked away on the trail,” Thomas said. “The victim stated that she was shocked by the behavior but managed to take a photograph of this man as he walked away.”

The suspect was described as 25 to 35, about 5 feet, 10 inches tall to 6 feet, 1 inch tall. The man was of slender build and had dark curly hair. Thomas said he was last seen wearing red jogging pants, a black T-shirt with white at the bottom, and black shoes.

“Derry police have increased patrols in the area to include bicycle officers on the path,” Thomas said. “Rail trail users are asked to be vigilant and report anything suspicious to Derry police immediately.”

Anyone who recognizes this man or has information regarding the incident was asked to contact Derry police at 603-432-6111.
