Police say a man pulled his pants down and exposed himself to a child in the South End of Halifax just after 8 a.m.

The child did not know the man.

The man was found a block away on Henry Street a short time later.

Police say Stewart Wayne Eastman, 73, will appear in Halifax provincial court later on Wednesday to face an indecent act charge.
