Man sought for indecent acts on Danforth, at East York park

Police said the first incident was reported on Sept. 8 at about 10:45 a.m. in the Woodbine-Danforth Aves. area, where a victim who was their changing clothes in the basement of their home noticed a man watching through the window.
The man allegedly exposed himself and fled from the area.
