A 16-year-old girl was sexually assaulted as she walked home from school yesterday (May 16).
The teenager was walking along Waller Avenue close to the BT Telephone Exchange when she was approached by the offender who started talking to her and walking alongside.
He then attempted to kiss the victim but she pulled away, so he grabbed her bottom before running away.
The offender is described as an Asian male, in his mid-teens, around 5ft 1 inch tall and of slender build.
He was wearing a light grey hooded top with two vertical stripes down the side and black trousers.
Det Cons Cathie Layton is keen to speak with anyone who was in Waller Avenue on Thursday and may have seen either offender before or after the incident.
