British Transport Police officers are asking for witnesses to come forward following reports of a man exposing himself in public at Chepstow railway station.

The incident took place on Wednesday 1 February at about 12.05pm.  Two teenage girls witnessed a man masturbating on the pedestrian footbridge overlooking the station platforms and proceeded to inform the train guard of the Cardiff-bound service.  When trying to board the train, the man was questioned by the train guard and then refused travel.

That evening, a 25-year-old man was arrested for Outraging Public Decency and was later released on conditional police bail pending further investigation.

Officers are appealing to anyone who was at Chepstow station at the time who may have witnessed the incident or have any information which could help their investigation to get in touch by texting 61016 or calling 0800 40 50 40 quoting reference 219 of 01/02/23.

Alternatively, you can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
