Two women in a woodland were approached by a naked man who committed an indecent act, police have said.

The West Yorkshire force has released an e-fit of the man, who is suspected of outraging public decency during the encounter in Judy Woods at Wyke.

The force has only just published details of the incident, which happened close to the river in the woodland at about 14:35 BST on 19 May.

The suspect was described as white, in his late 20s, with short dark brown hair and a stocky or chubby build.

They said anyone with information could contact 101 and quote reference 13250155428.
