THIS is the man police want to interview in connection with a sexual assault on a teenager in Worcester.

The girl was walking past Jewel nightclub in Angel Place, now called Velvet Lounge, when the man assaulted her in broad daylight.

South Worcestershire police say the man started walking next to her so the victim stopped and waited for him to pass.

After he overtook her, the man began to slow down by VIBE nightclub and stopped to tie his shoelaces. The victim walked past him and he followed.

As the victim entered an alleyway leading to The Butts she heard someone running up behind her. She turned and saw the same man behind her.

He then sexually assaulted her. She shouted What are you doing?' and the man replied You look sexy in that skirt'.

The victim pushed him away and ran off in the same direction she had come from and the male continued towards The Butts.

The incident happened at 3.40pm on Thursday, May 10, but police only released details today.

The male is described as white, in his late 30s- 40s with pale skin. He has brown hair which is thinning on top of his head and spoke with a foreign accent. He was wearing a coat that had dark sleeves and a lighter body area and a collar in ribbed material white with red stripe in the middle.
