Police are appealing for witnesses after two reports from women of a man acting indecently in the Henleaze and Westbury-on-Trym area.

An 18-year-old cyclist passed a man acting indecently on the pavement. She did not stop but carried on cycling.

The second incident occurred 15 minutes later. A woman in her 30s was walking along Southfield Road when she noticed a man acting indecently as he passed her.
