Hamilton police are looking for a suspect accused of committing indecent acts along a walking trail in Dundas earlier this week.

The first incident happened on Saturday at a section of the rail trail near Lynden Road.

Police said a victim was walking along the trail when she saw a man 100 metres away with his pants partially lowered, masturbating while staring in her direction.

The second incident happened on Thursday. Police said the victim observed an unknown man engaging in the same indecent act.

When officers arrived, they did not locate the suspect, who was last seen wearing a black hoodie and white shoes.

Police said they will have an increased presence in the area as they investigate the incidents.
