Police have arrested a man believed to have exposed his genitals to a woman at a parking lot in Bukit Mertajam, Penang, on Sunday.

Seberang Perai Tengah police chief Tan Cheng San said the suspect will be brought to the Bukit Mertajam court this morning for a remand order.

In a Berita Harian report, Tan said the man was being investigated under Section 509 of the Penal Code for words or gestures intended to insult the modesty of a person.

He is also being investigated for indecency with the intent to provoke a breach of the peace under Section 14 of the Minor Offences Act 1955.

In the incident on Sunday, a man riding a red Yamaha LC135 motorcycle approached the woman’s car in the car park of a fast food outlet and then unzipped his trousers to show his genitals before riding away.

The woman then lodged a report at the Bukit Mertajam police station.
