Multiple acts of indecent exposure were reported throughout Sheffield, most recently in Endcliffe Park, making residents feel \u2018unsafe\u2019 and \u2018uncomfortable\u2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most recent event happened around 4:50 pm on Saturday 1 March, when a man exposed himself and committed a lewd act in front of a 21-year-old woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zeena Al-Obaidi, 32, from Sharrow, an Endcliffe park visitor, said: \u201cIt\u2019s shocking, you expect things like that to happen in the dark, but that was in the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt makes me not want to come walking by myself, just in case something like that happens. It makes me feel very nervous.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The man in the CCTV images was described as white, roughly 55 to 65 years old, around 5 foot 10 inches tall, with a broad build, short white hair, and a white goatee-style beard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hannah Wright, 29, from Meersbrook, a dog walker at Endcliffe park, said: \u201cParks are supposed to be places where you can take a breather and enjoy the views, but if you don\u2019t feel safe, it makes you not want to come out.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou feel as though you\u2019re stuck to certain hours in the day, especially if you want to come out at night and you feel like you can\u2019t do that because it\u2019s a risk. It\u2019s unfair.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A similar event occurred on Wednesday 25 February, when a man reportedly exposed himself in front of a 21-year-old woman at the West Street University tram stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jamie Feltham, 34, from Sharrow, said that such incidents put him on \u2018high alert\u2019 and cause more \u2018unease\u2019 than people should be feeling in places like parks, as they don\u2019t know what could be \u2018around the corner\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PC Sarah Morgan, South Yorkshire Police’s officer in charge of the case, said: \u201cWe are aware of numerous similar reports at the same location in recent months and are additionally appealing for anyone with information that could help us identify a suspect to come forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through the Safer Streets Fund, Sheffield received \u00a3993,311 to improve CCTV and Violence against Women and Girls educational programmes, and was to be implemented between October 2023 and March 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
