Officers from British Transport Police are investigating a report of indecent exposure on board a Wrexham to Bidston train. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Police have issued a still photograph captured from onboard CCTV cameras of a man they want to speak to about the incident which happened between 7.45pm and 8.45pm on Friday 22 December. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The man is reported to have exposed himself before touching himself inappropriately while travelling on the train between Wrexham and Bidston stations. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The service stops at several Flintshire stations including Buckley, Hawarden and Shotton. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The man left the train at Bidston and boarded a service to Liverpool. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​
