Man charged after allegedly 'exposing' himself on the Bay Run

Police have charged a man who allegedly exposed himself to a number of women on the Bay Run, in Sydney's inner west.

The 29-year-old was taken into police custody at a home on Lawrence Street in Freshwater, on the Northern Beaches, at 1.15pm today.

It's alleged he approached more than three women in the Lilyfield area between January 31 and February 17, and indecently exposed himself.

Last week police released a photo of a man as part of their investigation.

The man has been charged with numerous offences, including stalking/intimidating, behaving in an offensive manner in/near public place and wilful and obscene exposure in/near public place.

He is expected to appear in court tomorrow.
