Police charge man after lewd act at Huntingdale Railway Station

Transit Crime Investigation Unit detectives have arrested and charged a man following an allegedly lewd act at Huntingdale Railway Station earlier this year.

The 37-year-old man was arrested in Dandenong on Friday and subsequently interviewed by detectives.

The Dandenong man was charged with one count of sexual activity directed at another and was bailed to appear at Dandenong Magistrates' Court on 7 July.

The charges follow an incident outside the railway station where a female victim was allegedly approached by a man about 12.30am on 3 March.

Detectives will allege the man exposed himself and masturbated in front of the woman before boarding a train.

Police would like to thank the community and the media for their assistance with the matter.
