Costa Mesa police are seeking the public’s help in identifying a man suspected of exposing his genitals to a teenage girl while she was walking home from school Oct. 3.

The high school student was walking in the 900 block of Presidio Drive at about 4 p.m. when a man pulled up next to her in a “newer black two-door convertible,” police said in a statement Tuesday afternoon.

The man spoke to her from the car while exposing himself, police said.

The girl ran away and sought help while the man fled, police said.
