The man exposed himself when she turned around and asked what he was doing.

The suspect is described as a thin, 5ft 5in tall white man in his late teens to early twenties.

He had a gaunt face and pale skin and spoke with a local accent.

Detective Constable Louise Halliwell of Calderdale CID said, “Clearly this has been a traumatic incident for the victim, and I would appeal to anyone who may have been in or around Shroggs Park during mid to late morning on Saturday, and who may have seen someone matching the suspect’s description, or who may have witnessed the incident itself to come forward. Enquiries are continuing.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact Calderdale CID via 101 quoting *20600
