Toronto police have arrested a man who allegedly exposed himself while making "vulgar conversation" with two women in Parkdale.

Police say the alleged indecent exposure incident occurred Wednesday afternoon at the intersection of Seaforth Avenue and O'Hara Avenue.

Two women brought a complaint against the man to police. They took a photo of him, which they say police urged them to share on social media.

"We were walking eastbound on Seaforth around 1:30 p.m. today, December 17," wrote Karen Pare on Facebook. "This guy was standing on the sidewalk with his penis in his hand, shouting lewd comments at us."

A woman tweeted earlier this week that the man had "struck" her friend.

Toronto police's 11 division unit commander Heinz Kuck tweeted the arrest, citing charges of indecent act and assault.
