Police have released an e-fit of a man after a teenage girl was sexually assaulted on a bus.

Gloucestershire Police said an unknown man made sexual comments to the victim and lifted her hair on a number 63 bus from Stroud to Gloucester between 15:30 and 16:30 GMT on 9 December.

He also asked about her age before grabbing her arm and body near her waist.

Officers are hoping to identify a man aged between 60 and 70 in connection with the incident. He is described as about 5ft 7ins tall, with a grey moustache, bags under his eyes and a mark underneath his right eye.

He was also said to be wearing a tartan bucket hat, navy blue coat, jeans, hiking shoes and had a dark coloured rucksack in his possession.

The force said enquiries were ongoing and asked anyone who recognises the man to contact them.
