The stranger reached out and grabbed at the boys chest area and then appeared to walk away from him before turning around and lifting up items of clothing to expose himself to the boy. He then fled from the scene and police carried out enquiries to try and identify the person and due to the appeal and support of the public an arrest has been made in relation to the incident.

The police have arrested a 67-year-old man from Southampton on suspicion of sexual assault and two offences of indecent exposure. He remains in custody.
