A man from Brampton is facing several charges after allegedly exposing himself to two teen girls at an Oakville mall last week.

The incident happened at a Dollarama store inside Oakville Place mall around 5:30 p.m. on Friday.

Investigators allege a man walked up to two teenage girls and touched them while exposing his genitals. The victims were not physically injured, according to police.

Halton Regional Police Service (HRPS) arrested 62-year-old Paul Swanson from Brampton on Monday. He is facing six charges including two counts of sexual assault and two counts of sexual interference.

The suspect is being held for a bail hearing.

Police have released a photo of the accused and say there may be additional victims.
