Officers investigating an assault on a girl on a bus have released images of two people they’d like to speak to.
Inquiries are ongoing into the incident which happened on the 141 bus, from Mansfield to Nottingham, at around 3pm on Monday 9 October 2023.
The teenage victim had her hair pulled back and was punched to the face.
It was reported a group of people, who were sat behind her, threw things at her, and made nasty comments before she was assaulted.
