A man's been arrested on suspicion of sexual assault after a teenage girl reported being forcefully kissed by a stranger in Gloucester.

She was approached by a man on Wheatway in Abbeydale around 7.30pm yesterday, who also made her give him her mobile number.

A man in his thirties is currently in police custody - officers also want to hear from anyone who saw a man pushing a grey bike with a flat tyre at the time.

Police are asking for anyone who lives in those areas and has a doorbell camera or CCTV to come forward if they have any footage which may assist the ongoing investigation.

Officers are also wanting to hear from any motorists who have dashcam footage.

Anyone with information should contact police on 101.
