Man in bushes Dulwich Park this morning

[muppet19]

Did anyone else see a 20-something man with a bike on ground acting oddly amongst the bushes on the running track around outside of Dulwich Park 8.45-9.30? I ran past him three times in that time, twice doing same thing. I just thought he was a bit of a pervert until I saw the report about the attack in Avery Hill Park. There were loads of people around with the Park Run going on too.

[Sue]

Did you call the police?

[muppet19]

I have left a message but they haven't called me back!

[Sue]

Oh dear :(

ETA: How was he acting oddly?

[muppet19]

Lewd stuff. Police have now got report.

[tomdhu]

Can you give a more comprehensive description?

[alice]

Please, don't

[MelissaVF]

I also saw and had similar chain of thoughts- I didn't see enough to report on though...I think. PM me if you think worth following up on.

[James Barber]

you got an answerphone for 999?

Good grief!

Can a grown man not innocently 'rub one out' in the privacy of some foliage anymore without some self absorbed fitness fanatic pervertedly watching them??

Whats the world coming to?

HA, ha, ha.....thats brilliant, you Mr Mick Max, are a very funny person indeed!, have you considered stand up?

Perverts need reporting too.

The days when my mother came home and said some man had exposed himself and she laughed at his "size" are long gone.

Found this report from August

https://www.southwarknews.co.uk/news/parents-warn-men-hiding-bushes-southwark-park/

So was that rumour a hoax ?

Haha, was totally thinking the same thing lol - hadn't crossed my mind he was perverted, sounds like good old fashioned cruising to me, how old school. Best just ignored, chances are if you're not interested he won't be either.

[rendelharris]

Sorry, I don't understand some of these comments - a man has been exposing himself (and reading between the lines a lot more than just exposing himself) in broad daylight, at a time when the park will be full of families etc, to at least two lone females and this should just be ignored or laughed off as some sort of "old school" behaviour? Seriously?

[Beej]

she said "acting oddly amongst the bushes" she didn't actually say exposing himself. Apologies, i just found Toosmart1973 comment amusing.

[kibris]

Thats the problem with this site pepole make up things who said that he was exposing himself and then was called a pervert for doing what does say anything about showing any part of his body,so grow up and stop saying things that are not facts...com

[rendelharris]

I'll answer you despite the fact that anyone who says "grow up" and "facts...com" doesn't really deserve a reply. muppet19 said the man was behaving oddly and later clarified this as "lewd stuff." OK, she didn't actually use the words exposing himself. Big deal. Still don't think there's anything amusing about it.

ETA What is mildly amusing, when you think about it, is that you're getting het up about the fact that a person who was behaving in enough of a sexually inappropriate manner in the park for the OP to call the police might be slandered by me making a (perfectly justifiable) assumption as to what that behaviour was. Interesting sense of priorities.

[Sue]

So Kibris, you are calling someone who has been a member on here for years and found someone's behaviour sufficiently concerning to call the police a liar?

I don't find that kind of behaviour in any way amusing either.

Then below that said "Lewd Behaviour" - which is actually a definition of illegal sexual behaviour.

And we did take it as a joke back in time - the local flasher was a running joke amongst the schoolgirls at my school - but seen as progressive behaviour towards worse these days.
