POLICE are appealing for information after a 15-year-old boy was allegedly sexually assaulted in Grimsby.
The boy was walking alone from the direction of the bus station towards the library when he was approached by an unknown male as he made his way towards Doughty Road.
The man attempted to engage in conversation with him about a local fair taking place in the area.
The boy and the suspect then walked together and, as they reached the underneath of the railway bridge on Doughty Road, it is alleged the man inappropriately touched the boy before the boy ran away towards his home address.
The offender is described as a white man of slim build and around 5ft 10ins tall. He was aged in his 30s with short light curly hair and believed to be wearing a blue top, grey coloured bottoms and black shoes.
Anyone who can help police with their enquiries is asked to call Humberside Police tel 101 quoting crime reference 1935776.
