Police are searching for a man who they said exposed himself to three teenaged girls Thursday morning near Calhoun High School in Merrick.
The incident happened on Webster Street near Pettit Avenue at about 11:05 a.m., Nassau County police said.
Police said the three girls, all age 16, were walking on Webster Street toward the high school when they saw the man by a white Chevy Express van exposing himself. The frightened girls fled and reported the incident to administrators upon arriving at school, police said.
School officials then contacted the cops.
