Ottawa Police have charged and arrested a 34-year-old man after a report he was pleasuring himself near a young boy.

Police were called to the Kanata Leisure Centre around 3 p.m. Saturday to deal with a man who was allegedly masturbating in the men's locker room near a 10-year-old boy. 

34-year-old Brent Dagenais has been charged with two counts of Indecent Act and one count of Mischief. He was released from police custody Sunday after a Show Cause Hearing, with conditions to protect the community. 

Police say the suspect fled the building after staff put the recreation complex on a temporary lock down. The individual was arrested a short distance away from the recreation complex. 

No physical injuries were reported.
