CALGARY – Police are looking to the public for help identifying a man who allegedly touched himself in front of two young girls on Friday.

The victims, both 14-years-old, were walking in the 300 block of Sienna Park Drive S.W. around 4:30 p.m. when they noticed a stranger who was trying to get their attention.

The girls turned to look at the man, who appeared to be touching himself inappropriately.

They subsequently ran from the area to tell an adult, who then called police.

On Wednesday, police released a composite sketch of the suspect with the hopes of identifying him.

He is described as having a medium skin tone, 25 to 30-years-old, 5’11” tall, with short black hair. He was wearing a black jacket and blue jeans. The vehicle is described as a silver or gold, four-door sedan.

Investigators are also reviewing another incident from earlier the same day, when two young girls had an unusual encounter with a man matching the same description.

It happened around 3:45 p.m. in the 2700 block of 499 Street S.W.

The 11-year-old girls saw a man standing near the back of a vehicle, who allegedly began touching himself as he watched them walk by.

“As they turned to look at the male, they observed the male to be masturbating in their direction,” explained A/S/Sgt. Shawn Bowen from the Calgary Police Service. “They immediately fled the area, and contacted their parents who in response also contacted police.”

Police are asking anyone with information on the incidents or person pictured in the composite sketch to contact them.
