York Regional Police say officers are searching for a suspect after a man exposed himself and committed an indecent act in front of a teen on a TTC subway train.

Police said the incident occurred on Dec. 23 when a female teen was riding the subway with a friend to Vaughan from Toronto.

A male suspect sat across from the teen and allegedly exposed himself and committed an indecent act, police said.

The suspect reportedly left the train at Jane Street and Highway 7 West in Vaughan.

On Tuesday, investigators released a photo of a suspect wanted in connection with the incident in the hope that someone would identify him.
