A sex attacker is being hunted after a teen was assaulted on a Newcastle street.
The 14-year-old girl was groped as she walked along Eastfield Avenue at just before 8am on Monday, March 16.
Police say a man followed her a short distance on foot before touching her ‘inappropriately’ over her clothing.
The girl was left shocked and upset by the incident, said officers.
The offender was wearing a black coat with the hood pulled up.
Northumbria Police’s Neighbourhood Sergeant for the area, Matt Bruno, said: “We have additional officers in the area carrying out enquiries and to reassure local people. We’d ask for anyone with information to contact police.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact Northumbria Police on 101 ext 69191 quoting reference number 189 16/03/15 or the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
