A MAN who exposed himself to a nine-year-old girl in a city centre store in York is being hunted by police.

The man struck inside Woolworths, in Coney Street, at about 3pm yesterday. He was described as being white and aged about 60, with grey hair. He was wearing a green top or jacket, and grey trousers.

Elsewhere in the city, two women chased off a man who exposed himself to them. Police said the pair were walking along an alley, which runs between Queen Victoria Street and Westwood Terrace, at about 7.30pm yesterday, when the man bared his bottom to them. He then turned around and exposed himself.

But the pair ran after him, shouting, and the man fled. He was described as being white and aged in his early 30s. He was wearing dark blue jogging bottoms.
