Police say the man - seen wearing only cross-patterned stockings, a blue crop top and a black curly wig - is wanted for indecent exposure.

A spokesman for Leigh Police said the suspect had been seen running in the Green Lane area yesterday.

Sandra Benham, on the police's Facebook site, said: "It’s happened again this morning!

"Are the police not patrolling the area? Three times in less than a month! Surely that’s alarming enough?"

The incident has occurred just a day after a man was reported to be flashing at schoolgirls walking along a dirt path between the Higher Folds estate and Bedford High School.

Witnesses to the latest incident can contact neighbourhood police on 101.
