A man masturbated in front of two women as they fed the ducks in Greenhead Park, a court heard.

Haking Mohamad was allegedly sat in some bushes with his penis poking through a hole in the crotch of his tracksuit bottoms.

He denies any wrongdoing, claiming he wasn't wearing underwear because he couldn't afford it.

Lisa Evans, prosecuting, told Kirklees magistrates that the offence occurred shortly before 1pm on August 25.

She said that the two victims went to the park for a picnic and were sat near to the duck pond when they became aware of the 25-year-old sitting near some bushes, moving his hand down towards his crotch.

The women decided to leave but first walked over to feed the ducks.

They allegedly saw Mohamad sat on the ground with his legs bent and spread open.

Miss Evans said there was a round hole in the crotch area of his tracksuit bottoms and his penis was exposed through that hole.

She told magistrates that he was looking at the women and smiling as he masturbated himself.

Mohamad, of Lower Fitzwilliam Street in Huddersfield, pleaded not guilty to indecent exposure.

He said through an interpreter that he had a hole in his trousers and couldn't afford to buy underwear.

He claimed he didn't expose his penis deliberately and wasn't masturbating.

His trial will be held at the Huddersfield court on November 20.

The two witnesses will be permitted to give their evidence from behind sceens.

Mohamad was granted unconditional bail in the meantime.
