Gresham Police: Man Believed to Have Exposed Himself At Playground

Gresham Police are looking for the man in the picture. They believe may have been exposing himself at a playground near children on Tuesday.

An officer who was directing traffic at an accident scene was flagged down by a man who said he'd seen a man exposing himself. It was around 7:00 Tuesday evening.

The witness said he had seen a man exposing himself near the playground at the Columbia Trails Apartments at 1112 Northwest 15th Street. The witness said he thought the man was acting suspiciously so he started recording video with his cell phone.

Police say that the video shows an adult male who appears to be touching himself while looking toward the playground.

After being confronted by the witness the man rode away on a blue mountain bike.

The suspect is described as a white male, 30 to 40 years old, wearing a baseball hat, blue jeans, and a black long sleeve shirt over a light colored shirt. He was last seen riding away on a blue colored mountain bike.

Anyone who can identify or have had similar encounters with the pictured subject, are urged to contact the Gresham Police tip line at 503-618-2719.
