Police Search for Man Accused of Indecent Exposure Around Children

The Arlington County Police Department is looking for a man accused of inappropriately touching himself while watching children over the weekend in downtown Clarendon.

At about 1:15 p.m. Saturday, employees at a restaurant in the 1000 block of North Fillmore Street told police they saw a man sitting on a sidewalk between two parked cars with a newspaper over his lap, police spokesman Dustin Sternbeck said.

The employees said they saw him inappropriately touching himself while watching several young children in the restaurant's patio area, Sternbeck said.

The employees told police they asked him to leave, and he reportedly did so without incident.

Sternbeck would not name the restaurant where this was reported.

Investigators are looking for a white man, approximately 60 years old, with medium-length gray hair, according to information police released Monday.

He was wearing a dark-colored hat, black shirt and navy shorts at the time of the incident.
