E-fit issued in connection with Gloucester sexual touching without consent

Officers investigating a sexual assault in Gloucester have released an e-fit of a man they want to speak to in connection with the incident.

It was reported that a teenager was sexually touched without consent and had their phone damaged whilst on Barton Street in the city at around 1am on Saturday 19 February.

The victim stated that they were walking down the street when the man approached and asked for money before smashing their phone and intimately touching them.

The offender was described as being 6ft tall, having a Gloucester accent, smelt of alcohol and was wearing a black hoody with the hood up and black jeans.

He left in the direction of Bruton Way when the victim flagged down a passing police van.
