A man has been banned from a shopping centre after exposing himself to a shop assistant when trying on Speedos.
A man from Rooty Hill entered the shop around 4.45pm on Tuesday where a woman, 30, was working in the shop.
The man chose a small pair of Speedo briefs at Warringah Mall in Brookvale and went to the change rooms to try the swimmers on.

The shop assistant went to the change rooms a short while later to see if the man was okay with the item.
He left the changing rooms dressed only in Speedos before flashing to the worker, police allege.
‘The man asked the woman whether she thought the swimmers were too small. The sales assistant told him to try the next size up and walked away,’ police told Manly Daily.
It is believed that the woman then checked on the customer again and a similar sequence of events took place, with the man telling the shop assistant there was an issue with the draw string.
He then left the shop fully clothed and told the shop assistant he would be back another day to buy the Speedos.
The shopping mall’s security then sought out the man and police will interview him over what is alleged to have happened.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Westfield and Speedos for comment.
