Police arrest man on reports of harassing females on university campus

Police believe a man who has been charged with indecent acts performed them more than reported.

Police received four complaints from Feb. 8-12, about a man masturbating in his car with his window down, following females near NAIT’s main campus and the University of Alberta campus.

“It was reported that the suspect verbally harassed the complainant while masturbating,” police said in a news release Wednesday.

The suspect is described as a white male with a red beard. He was driving a silver or grey BMW SUV.
