The 45-year-old suspect was detained in Heath Town Park yesterday afternoon after reports of a man touching himself in front of members of the public.

Several people were nearby enjoying the sunny weather in the park off Bushbury Road when the alleged offence took place.

"He was swiftly located and arrested on suspicion of outraging public decency," Wednesfield Police said on Twitter.

A West Midlands Police spokesman confirmed the man remained in custody on Thursday afternoon.
