CHICAGO LAWN — Police are asking Chicago Lawn residents to help identify a man they say exposed himself to a school-aged girl two mornings in a row, according to a Thursday alert.

At 7:38 a.m. Wednesday morning, the girl was walking near the intersection of 62nd Street and Rockwell Avenue when the man approached and flashed her before running away, police said.

The man exposed himself again, to the same girl, around the same time Thursday morning, police said.

The suspect is described as a black man in his early 30s with braids, standing around 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing about 180 pounds. At the time of the incidents, the man was wearing blue jeans and a "dark-colored top," police said.

Anyone with information on the suspect or the incidents is asked to call detectives at 312-747-8380.
