PC Kelly Grimes, investigating, said: “This incident occurred on August 23 last year. While quite some time has passed since then, we are hoping that someone may be able to identify the suspect involved from this e-fit image. At the time of the offence, he was topless and had a grey jumper tied around his waist.

“Since this incident was reported to us we have carried out numerous enquiries, including speaking to witnesses and pursuing CCTV and dashcam opportunities. Unfortunately we have been unable to identify a suspect and we’d now appreciate the public’s help to trace this man.”
