Extra police officers are being deployed in Wythenshawe after reports of an attempted sexual assault yesterday afternoon.
A woman at a home on Malling Road discovered an unknown man inside her kitchen at around 3:55pm. He then attempted to attack her.
She's now being supported by specialist officers after being left 'incredibly distressed'.
Police are searching for a suspect discribed as white, in his 40s, approximately 6ft tall with a balding head.
He was wearing a black scarf at the time of the attack.
Detective Superintendent Chris Downey, of Greater Manchester Police, said: "As part of our investigation, we have safeguarded the victim and deployed extra officers to the area to prevent any further crimes, whilst keeping the community safe.
"Officers are in the process of gathering all available evidence, completing house to house enquiries and reviewing CCTV footage and images, to assist us in identifying and arresting the person responsible as soon as possible.
"Nevertheless, it is crucial that anyone with information shares it immediately. We are particularly interested in hearing from anyone with dash cam footage from Malling Road, Firbank Road, Millbrook Road, Belsay Drive or Whitburn Road."
