APPEAL: Police want to speak to this man in connection with the assault
Detective Constable Nick Price said: “We have circulated the image on our own internal computer system but unfortunately, the person has not been traced.
“I would ask people to take a good look at the person in the picture and if you recognise him to call police.
“I would also make a direct appeal to the man himself to come forward so we can eliminate him from our investigation.”
