A naked man allegedly chased a “terrified” woman at a popular UK beauty spot in the middle of the day.
Police are trying to locate the individual following the “deeply concerning” incident, and have urged anyone with information to come forward.
The incident occurred at around 10am on Tuesday at Kenfig Nature Reserve near Porthcawl, Wales.
The woman approached employees and reported the man’s behaviour to them.
Staff at the visitor centre then sounded the alarm, with Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) and wardens subsequently patrolling the area.
Officers from South Wales Police were unable to speak to the woman, who had left by the time they arrived.
Police confirmed the man is not known to officers.
A spokesperson for the force said: “It was reported at 10am on Tuesday (April 1) by somebody at the nearby visitor centre, who had spoken to the woman.

“Officers attended shortly after but the woman had left the area... [Officers] did speak with other people in the area at the time but nobody saw anything.
“The man’s behaviour was clearly concerning and anybody else with information, is encouraged to make contact – give reference 2500101893. PCSOs are patrolling the area along with visitor centre wardens.”
In December, a neighbour row broke out in a Welsh village after an unauthorised holiday home conversion resulted in passers-by being able to spot naked guests.
The controversial property in Penisarwaun, Gwynedd, was built without planning permission and has become a source of significant local tension.
Neighbours have since branded the development an “eyesore” and claim that the property's large gable end window allows them to see everything happening inside.
A Cyngor Gwynedd spokesperson confirmed that the Planning Committee refused the retrospective application for the holiday let conversion at Plas Coch, Penisarwaun, during a meeting on 9 December, which went against officials' advice.
The council specifically cited concerns about the property's impact on neighbouring residents.
