However, fans compared him to Brown, 62, who fronted the 80s and 90s rock band.

The actual suspected flasher had an Old English Sheepdog with him.

The suspect is said to be in his 40s and 6ft tall with brown hair.

The indecent exposure took place on Ratten Row, in the Dodworth area of Barnsley as reported by Need To Know.

“It is reported that at 11.45am on Monday 10 March, a man exposed himself in front of a 45-year-old woman on Ratten Row in Dodworth.

“The man had an Old English Sheepdog with him at the time of the incident.

“Enquiries are ongoing and officers would like to speak to the man shown in this e-fit image as he may be able to help with enquiries.”
