Durham Regional Police are looking for a man who was seen committing lewd acts near the birthing unit of an Oshawa hospital.

Security responded to a call at around 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday after reports of a suspicious man outside the front doors of the birthing floor at Lakeridge Health Oshawa.

The man, who police say appears to be between 18 and 22 years old, was gone by the time security arrived. However, security camera footage revealed he was masturbating in the hospital. Police are now investigating the incident.

The suspect is described as clean shaven with short black hair. He was wearing black clothing and a San Antonio Spurs cap at the time.

Police are asking anyone with information to contact Det. Wilson of the Sexual Assault Unit at 1-888-579-1520 ext. 5320, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
