A woman was sexually attacked by a man with a "small tooth" while waiting at a bus stop.
The victim, in her 20's, was standing on Ullet Road, close to Princes Park in Toxteth, when a man approached her and tried to strike up a conversation.
He then touched her a number of times during the horrendous sexual assault before running off in the direction of Devonshire Road.
After he left, the woman rang police and was able to provide a description of her attacker to officers.
He was described as a dark skinned male in his 40's and is believed to be around 5ft 9in tall.
She said he was of a skinny build and wearing a dark coat and jeans at the time of the attack.
The victim said he was carrying a Tesco carrier bag when he assaulted her and had one smaller tooth next to his front teeth.
