Lawrence police arrested a 25-year-old Kansas City, Mo., man who was accused of exposing himself to four women early Tuesday morning in a city parking lot at 825 N.H., said Sgt. Matt Sarna, a police spokesman.

Sarna said the women flagged down an officer in the area and made the report. An officer later found the man in the area, but he ran away before he was arrested in the 900 block of New Hampshire Street, Sarna said.

According to jail records, the man is being held pending the filing of any formal charges. The Journal-World generally does not identify suspects unless they are formally charged.
