The woman then noticed the man was exposing himself, police said. The suspect drove off along Hunterfield Road.

He is described as white, late thirties or early forties, short mousey brown hair, a clean-shaven complexion and wearing a light-coloured t-shirt and dark jogging bottoms.

Sergeant Lee Brodie said: “The woman was in no way threatened or injured during this incident, but nevertheless, she was left shaken and we are treating this matter very seriously. Anyone who remembers seeing anything suspicious activity around Greenhall Crescent during the early hours of Wednesday morning should contact police immediately.”
