Stamford police are asking for the public's help in finding the man who they say exposed himself to a 14-year-old girl and inappropriately touched her.

Police say the incident happened near the intersection of Orange Street and Ursula Place as the girl was walking to her bus stop to get to high school around 6:45 a.m. last Thursday. The man allegedly exposed himself and inappropriately touched the girl.
