Police are appealing for information after a naked man was seen near a busy Hampshire road.

A woman in her 40s saw the indecently-exposed man on the cycle path to the north side of the A31 at Stoney Cross on Thursday, March 9 between 1pm and 1.30pm.

The man was standing near the underpass that leads from Minstead to Stoney Cross. 

There was no physical contact and the man did not say anything, but it did cause the woman distress.

The man has been described as between 55-60 years old, white, 6ft tall, of large/heavy build. He had very thick wavy hair and prominent cheeks.

A Hampshire police spokesman said: "Did you see anyone matching that description in the area at the time? This is a secluded area but one used by walkers and cyclists.

"Another man was seen walking in the area and may have witnessed the incident. We would like that man to come forward."

Anyone with information is asked to call 101, quoting 44170088893. Alternatively you can contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
