Detectives at West Midlands Police investigating an attack on a teenage girl in the Northfield area of Birmingham have released an e-fit image of the man they're looking for.
The 15-year-old was walking home along Shenley Lane at around 7pm on February 1st when the man assaulted her with a knife. She suffered injuries to her head and hands.
Police say she managed to make her way home, but needed surgery for her injuries.
Detective Chief Inspector Dave Sproson said: “This attack appears to have been totally unprovoked and has had a devastating effect on the young girl.
“She’s been able to give us a really good description and this artists impression has been created. Do you recognise him?
“Our investigation is ongoing and we’ve been meticulously going through all available CCTV of the area.
“We understand that attacks like this can be alarming, but we have had no further reports of similar behaviour and we have increased our patrols in an effort to reassure the public.”
The man is described as white, large build, wearing dark clothing, a dark blue face mask, dark beanie hat and a dark top with the hood up.
Police are asking for anyone who recognises the man in the e-fit to get in contact with them.
