Syd man performs lewd act in front of girl

A six-year-old girl has been cornered by a man who performed a lewd act in front of her in the grounds of a Sydney unit block, police say.

Police are looking for a man who performed a lewd act in front of a six-year-old girl after cornering her in a western Sydney unit block.

The girl was riding her bike with her eight-year-old brother in the grounds of the Cabramatta complex on Monday afternoon when she was approached by the man.

Police were told the man pushed the six-year-old towards the back of the block and performed an indecent act, before witnesses yelled out from a window and he fled.

He is described as Middle Eastern or Mediterranean in appearance, aged in his late 30's or early 40's, about 190cm tall with facial hair, wearing a black cap with a black or brown jumper, light blue jeans and grey joggers.

Police have urged anyone who may have seen a man loitering in unit complexes around the McBurney Road area to contact them.
