The incident happened at approximately 8.10am on Thursday 20 March in Tunnel Hill in Worcester when she was walking to school and a man approached her and assaulted her.

Investigating officers are releasing a CCTV image of a man they believe may be able to help them with their enquiries. He is described as tall, around 20-years-old, with blackish/brown straight hair wearing an orange tie-dye jumper with black on it, greyish jogging bottoms and trainers.

Investigating officer PC Rebecca Paley said: “We're releasing CCTV images of a man that we would like to speak to in connection with this incident, he may be able to help us with our enquiries and I would encourage either the man in the picture or anyone who thinks they may recognise him to get in touch with police as soon as you're able to.”

“We understand that the CCTV image is from the back however the orange tie-dye top is very distinctive, we're keen to speak to anyone who may have been in the area at the time or were within the vicinity at the time and may have seen him.”
