Police have released an image of a man we want to speak to after a teenage boy was sexually assaulted.
The victim was approached by a man on a bus in the Gamston area of West Bridgford. He then engaged the boy in conversation before hugging him and kissing him on the cheek.
The incident happened between 8.30pm and 9.30pm on 22 July.
Our officers have been investigating the incident and are now in a position to release this image of a man who could have important information about what happened.
