Police said no injuries were reported but the woman was left distressed and is being supported by specialist officers.

CCTV has now been released of a man detectives would like to speak to as he may be able to help their investigation.

Detective Inspector Lynsay Armbruster said: "This was a shocking incident that no one should have to go through. Thankfully the woman involved was brave enough to report this to police and we can fully investigate what happened to prevent these types of offences.

"We are very keen to speak to this man, as we believe he could have valuable information about this incident which would help our enquiries.

"If you recognise him, or were on Arrowe Park Road near the bus stop at the time of this incident and saw anything suspicious please contact us. Any information you have could be vital to our investigation."
