Bail following Guy Fawkes incident

- GEORGE BLOCK

A DUNEDIN man was on bail when he allegedly exposed himself to an 11yearold girl during Guy Fawkes Night celebratio­ns.

The 70yearold man received bail again yesterday after appearing in the Dunedin District Court following the Monday evening incident.

A person at the scene said a mother reported to police her 11yearold daughter saw the man urinate on a picnic rug in front of her at Unity Park in Mornington.

The park was full of families letting off fireworks to celebrate Guy Fawkes Night, the witness said.

When the man was confronted about his behaviour, he allegedly attempted to flee in his vehicle, but drove into the car parked beside him.

The witness said police arrived shortly afterwards.
