An Aussie woman has issued an urgent warning after spotting a man committing a despicable act in public at a popular beach.
Ashleigh Blake was at Coolum Beach on Queenslands Sunshine Coast on September 18 alone when she noticed a man allegedly masturbating while looking at her.
Ms Blake claimed to have recognised the man after seeing him naked at the beach - near teenage girls - on previous trips to the beach.
Im furious, yesterday I caught a man touching himself on the beach while looking at me, she told TikTok users in an expletive-ridden rant to the platform a day later.
I look around and realise Im the only one on the beach, I look up and he is naked, he has uncovered himself and his d**k is out and he is jerking off while looking at me.
Ms Blake filmed the man in the middle of his filthy act and has since handed over the footage to police.
She described the act as disgusting and urged other women to speak out about similar incidents to raise awareness.
I’m here to warn women, especially on the Sunshine Coast, men are f***ing c***s, Ms Blake said.

The video sparked a flurry of comments from viewers who slammed the mans disgusting act.
The warning also prompted other women to share their own similar experiences.
This happened to me and my friend at this exact location, one viewer wrote.
Another added: When you said Sunshine Coast my heart sank ... I thought that kind of stuff didn’t really happen here.
A third wrote: Had it happen to me three times as a teenager all at different beaches and twice at a bus stop.
Others said the issue wasnt restricted to Aussie beachgoers, with many reporting being flashed by men elsewhere.
This happened to me when I was 19 at a bus stop at night by myself he had it out and kept walking by in front of me so Id notice, one viewer wrote.
I pretended I knew nothing and tore off to the servo across the road.
Ms Blake and the man were the only people at Coolum Beach (pictured) at the time and reported the incident to police who have launched an investigation
Another added: This happened to me too in Italy and Switzerland, no place is safe, another said.
Queensland Police has confirmed an investigation into the incident is underway.
Police are investigating reports of an indecent exposure incident ... at Second Bay in Coolum Beach, a spokeswoman said.
Initial investigations indicate a man exposed himself and was behaving indecently on the beach around 2pm.
He reportedly left the scene when confronted by a member of the public.
Anyone with information has been urged to contact police.
