Police have launched an investigation following reports of a serious sexual assault.
A teenage girl reported being sexually assaulted around 8pm on Wednesday (17 September), in Goodliffe Street, New Basford.
The victim got off a tram in Shipstone Street, before being led down an alleyway and assaulted by an unknown male suspect.
He has been described as white, around 17-years-old, of skinny build, between 5ft 9 and 5ft 10 in height, and had brunette/black hair.
The suspect also reportedly had a moustache and goatee, while he was wearing all black clothing and white trainers.
Police were notified soon afterwards, with officers with specialist training being deployed to offer support to the victim.
An area around Goodliffe Street was cordoned off while investigations took place.
These inquiries are still ongoing, with detectives now appealing to anyone who saw what happened to come forward immediately.
Detective Constable Holly James, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:
“As with all incidents of this nature, our priority has been the welfare of the victim.
“She is currently being supported by specially trained officers, while we continue to investigate what happened.
“On that front, we want to speak to anyone who was in the vicinity of the tram stop in Shipstone Street or Goodliffe Street, around 8pm on Wednesday.
“We understand the concern incidents of this nature can cause and uniformed officers will be in the area to offer reassurance and support.
“We’re led to believe the suspect met with the victim after she got off the tram, so are confident there will have been other people around at the time.
“If that was you, we want to hear from you, and likewise anyone else who has any information that could assist our inquiries is asked to contact the police without delay.”
Anyone who can assist is asked to call 101, quoting incident 726 of 17 September 2025, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
