A man has been arrested after reports a flasher followed a group of people down the street and exposed himself.
The group of two women and a man were walking in the Gloucester Place area of the North Laine at about 1am on Friday, 26 July when the incident happened.

He has been released on bail with strict conditions while further enquiries are undertaken.
