A man also allegedly flashed a four-year-old girl sitting in a different food court restaurant about 12.45pm on October 12.

Both times the man left after exposing himself to the children.

Police say Harbour Town security spotted the man on Tuesday this week but he fled across Oxley Rd when he realised he was being followed.

Initials investigations show the man placed himself at a table out of sight of the children’s parents, who were unaware of his actions at the time.
