Investigators have been told that an unknown man who was walking in the opposite direction to the pair exposed his genitals while passing the little girl.

It is believed the man then turned around to follow them, however once the victim notified her mother he fled on foot.

Police have released a facial composite image in the hope someone will recognise a man they wish to speak to.
