A flasher is at the centre of a police investigation at one of Sheffield’s most popular parks.

South Yorkshire Police were called out after a woman who was out running saw the man, who appeared to be committing an indecent act, as she made her way through Endcliffe Park, close to its duck pond.

Now officers have released an E-fit picture of a man they want to identify as part of their ongoing investigation into what they described as a report of ‘outraging public decency’.
