Police are searching for a suspect they say was caught on camera masturbating near the birthing unit of an Oshawa hospital.

According to a news release sent out by Durham Regional Police Wednesday, at around 4:30 a.m. on Dec. 22, a suspicious male was spotted near the birthing unit at Lakeridge Health and security was called. When security officers arrived, the suspect had fled the area but police say after reviewing security camera footage, the male was seen masturbating near the front doors of the unit.

The suspect has been described by investigators as a white male who is between 18 and 22 years old and is approximately five-foot-eight and 140 pounds. Police say at the time of the incident, the male was clean shaven and had short black hair. He was wearing all black clothing and a black hat with the San Antonio Spurs logo on it.

Police have release a security camera image of the suspect in hopes that a member of the public will be able to identify him.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact Det. Wilson of the Sexual Assault Unit at 1-888-579-1520, ext. 5320.
