A MAN who allegedly punched a child in the face and then verbally abused a passerby who objected later returned and exposed himself to the woman, 11am, Thursday 17 November.
The woman told Kingston detectives she heard the man and the child yelling at each other in Melrose St, Mordialloc, and walked out to investigate. She said she saw the man punch the child in the face, prompting her to slap the bonnet of the car to gain his attention. He responded with a verbal tirade.
The woman called police but the man had gone by the time they arrived. Later, the woman said she saw the man outside her house, gesticulating and yelling he knew where she lived.
While the woman was in the street using her phone to record the man’s comments, he allegedly exposed himself, and then turned and pulled down his shorts to “moon” her.
The man is Caucasian, in his 30s with short dark hair and was wearing orange shorts and a black T-shirt.
Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.
