Police in Palo Alto are searching for a man who exposed himself near the entrance to the Palo Alto Baylands Nature Preserve on Friday afternoon.
A woman in her 30s who reported the incident was parked on Embarcadero Road near Embarcadero Way when the man emerged from some bushes 50 or 60 feet away from her, police said.
The man, described as being unkempt and in his forties, unzipped his pants and held his penis in his hands without urinating or masturbating.
The woman said he did not seem to know she was there, police said.
The man exposed himself for about 30 seconds before walking west on Embarcadero Road, passing the woman’s car and making eye contact with her briefly. The woman did not see a vehicle belonging to him.
The woman said there was no one else in the area who the man would have been intentionally exposing himself to, police said.
The man was described as a light-skinned white man standing about 5 foot 7 inches tall with short brown hair, a medium build and a potbelly.
The suspect was wearing a long-sleeved, green dress shirt that was buttoned with the sleeves rolled up and tucked into green dress pants.
Anyone with information about this incident has been asked to call police at (650) 329-2413. Those wishing to remain anonymous can leave text messages or voicemails at (650) 383-8984.
