Harrison admitted the offence to police who recognised that he was showing clear signs of mental health issues.

The defendant told police he had consumed numerous cans of lager and he had been frustrated because his bus was going the wrong way.

Harrison accepted he had pulled his trousers down and had exposed himself and that he had been making noises.

However, Harrison told police he had not gained any sexual gratification from what he had done and he did not know why he had done it.

Harrison pleaded guilty to committing an act outraging public decency by behaving in an indecent manner by pulling his trousers down and exposing his penis.

Mr Hollett added that there had been a similar previous incident involving Harrison when police had simply spoken to the defendant about his behaviour.
