A woman is said to be "alarmed and distressed" after she was approached by a man who made a lewd comment.

Police are appealing for witnesses after the man, who was sitting on a bench overlooking the beach in Pakefield, made the comment to a woman who passed him at 6.30am on Monday, August 8.

It happened between the Jolly Sailors pub and All Saints Road.

The man is described as white, in his 50s, of medium build, clean-shaven and wearing beige clothing.

He was wearing a t-shirt, trousers and a round canvas hat with a brim around it.

Anyone with information which could help the enquiry is asked to contact Suffolk Police on 101, quoting crime reference number 37/50935/22.
