Can you help police track down the man?

Police have issued an EvoFit image of a man they would like to speak to in connection with a sexual assault in Plymouth.

The man is alleged to have approached a 12-year-old girl just off Crownhill Road, close to the path and footbridge leading to Whitley Way at around 5:10pm on Sunday 30 October.

Detective constable Nat Elliot-Smith from the Plymouth Protection Unit said: "we are keen to hear from anyone who can help us identifying this person.

"The suspect made inappropriate and sexually aggressive comments to the girl and then attempted to grab her by the shoulder.

"She managed to run away and whilst shaken up, she is thankfully unharmed.

"The victim immediately called her parents who then called the police. Units were sent to the area, but our initial searches were unsuccessful. Clearly this is an upsetting and concerning incident and we are appealing for witnesses to help officers locate the man responsible."

Anyone with information is asked to contact police by calling 101 or emailing 101@dc.police.uk with crime reference CR/100687/22
