Police are searching for a man who allegedly exposed himself in front of a 16-year-old girl as she walked her dog in a Queensland park.

The teenage girl was allegedly approached by a man wearing just a blue denim miniskirt about 4.30pm on January 25 as she walked through the Sherwood Arboretum in Brisbane Botanic Gardens.

The man, who was not known to the girl, began patting the girl’s dog before allegedly exposing himself.

Wearing no shoes or any other clothing, the man fled the scene a short time later.

He is described as caucasian in appearance, about 185cm tall, aged in his late 30s to early 40s with a slim build, light-coloured hair and a beard.

Police believe the man donned the same miniskirt when he was allegedly involved in “similar incidents” across Indooroopilly, Sherwood, Camp Hill and Morningside in the past several months.

Investigators are appealing to the man, or anyone who may have relevant information, to contact police.
