Officers would also like to talk to anyone who may have seen the man as there were people walking dogs and out with their children in pushchairs.
Kent Police is advising people to keep safe when out by sticking to well-lit, busy areas, avoid travelling alone at night, let other people know where you are and when you are due home, act confidently and wear bright or reflective clothing so you can be seen.

quoting crime ref: ZY/32457/12/ or call Kent Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
