Officers investigating a sexual assault in Nottingham have released an image of a man they’d like to speak to.
A 16-year-old girl was sitting at the number 58 bus stop in Parliament Street, Nottingham city centre, when a man walked over to her.
The man then sat very close to her before she moved up the bus stop. He then moved up next to her and tried to touch her face. She told him to stop and leave her alone.
As the bus began to pull up, the victim stood up to move towards it. The man also stood up and tried to grab her. He then stumbled forwards and grabbed her chest.
