Police are appealing for information after a teenage girl was sexually assaulted in Bradford.
At about 3.30pm yesterday (Thursday, 7 April) the 15-year-old was walking along a footpath off Woodside Road, which leads to Park Dam, when a man in a black balaclava pushed her against a wall, grabbed her belt and exposed himself.
The girl managed to push the suspect away and ran off.
The suspect is described as tanned, about 5ft 8ins tall, of slim build and around 20 years old.
He had brown eyes which had a squint and was wearing a navy Emporio Armani tracksuit.
He spoke with a local accent.
Detective Inspector Andy Howard, of Bradford District CID, said:
"The victim was very distressed by what happened and she is currently being supported by our specialist officers.
"Our enquiries suggest the suspect was seen in Woodside Road just prior to the incident and we would ask anyone with information to contact the Bradford District Safeguarding Unit on 101, quoting crime reference 13160148981.
