GLOUCESTERSHIRE police appealed for help in identifying a man they wished to speak to in connection with a sexual assault in Gloucester.

It followed a report of an incident at an event being held at Old Richians rugby club in Elmbridge.

While standing close to a stage, a man in his 30s touched a teenage girl on her breasts and bottom without her consent.

He left the club shortly afterwards.

Although not physically injured, the victim was left extremely shaken by the incident.

Officers have made a number of efforts to trace the man since the incident, which happened at around 10pm on Saturday, August 31.

They released a mobile phone image of a man they wished to speak to in connection with the incident.

The man was described as being in his mid-30s, with a beard, and was wearing a Hawaiian-style shirt, hat and shorts.

It was believed he was a regular at the clubhouse.

Anyone who knows the identity of the man is asked to contact Gloucestershire Constabulary, quoting incident 434 of 31 August, via: gloucestershire.police.uk/contact/af/contact-us/us/a-crime-that-has-already-been-reported
