Inspector Kerry Rigg, of Lossiemouth Police Station, said: “I would like to reassure the community that our officers are making inquiries to trace the person involved.
“We do not yet know what this man’s intentions were, but I would appeal to anyone who was in the area to get in touch and I’d especially also appeal to motorists who may have being driving in the area and may have captured the incident on dashcam footage to also get in touch.”
