A man tricked a woman into thinking he needed medical attention before exposing himself to her. The incident happened in Alsager on Monday, November 4, and saw a passer-by targeted by a male driver.

Police say the indecent exposure incident occurred between 10.15am and 10.45am when a woman was walking along Pikemere Road with her dog in the direction of Sandbach Road. She was stopped by a man in a vehicle who was asking for directions, suggesting he was in need of medical attention.

As the woman approached the vehicle to help, the man exposed himself and the woman walked away. The suspect is described as white, in his 40s and driving a dark coloured vehicle.
