DailyMail reports that police in Australia have launched a search for a man who has since been dubbed “Violent Masturbator” for allegedly masturbating in front of two women.

According to reports, the two women were at the Sydney beach by the time of the incident when the suspect stepped out of the bushes and started violently masturbating in front of them.

The women had reported the matter to police after he had disappeared.

The man committed the lewd act as a new mum and her friend were walking up from Wattamolla beach (pictured) through the Royal National Park bushland to their car

“He was violently masturbating at us,” one of the women told 7News.

“We yelled at him and tried to take a video to pass along to police, he wasn’t fazed at all and continued going at it while staring at us and following us on the track.”

Police said they are investigating ‘an act of indecency’ at the swimming spot.

The male has been described as a caucasian about 30-40 years old, and was wearing a khaki hat with a black flap, khaki shirt and khaki boots.
