Shoppers at Westfield Belconnen confronted him a short time later after which the man ran away on foot.

The man has been described as Caucasian in appearance and about 180cm tall with a thin build.

He was wearing a grey, long-sleeved top, dark pants, and a grey beanie at the time of the alleged incident.
