Teenager sexually assaulted and pushed towards Mercedes car

A teenager girl was sexually assaulted at a bus stop in Warrington.

Police are investigating the assault that happened on Winwick Road, near to the green bridge, at around 10.30am on Thursday, April 21 this year. The 15-year-old girl was approached by a man, in his 20s, who spoke to her briefly.

The suspect then walked away but returned to speak to her again, this time inappropriately touching her. He then reportedly tried to push the victim towards his Mercedes A100 vehicle before driving away.

The teenager described the man as white, of a slim build and aged in his twenties. He was wearing work style trousers and a beige oversized T-shirt.

Detective constable Rachel Williams, of Warrington local policing unit, said: "The girl was on her own when the man approached her. Despite making it clear she didn’t want to speak to him he continued to engage with her and touched her inappropriately which understandably left her shaken. She did the right thing in reporting it to officers straight away.

"As part of the investigation I am appealing to members of the public to come forward with information that could lead to the identity of this man. Perhaps you were in the area at the time or live nearby with CCTV or dashcam footage that shows a man matching this description. If this is the case I would ask you to please get in touch with us."
