Flasher’s early-hours assault
Date published: 21 October 2014
POLICE are hunting a man who exposed himself and sexually assaulted a woman in Shaw in the early hours of Saturday.
The 49-year-old woman was walking along Rochdale Road around 1am when the man started a conversation. He then exposed himself before trying to entice her to come with him. She ran off.
The offender is described as Asian, 20-25 years old, with spiky hair and a fringe. He was wearing a grey tracksuit.
Det Sgt John Coleman asked anyone who was out in the early hours and recalls seeing someone — or knows someone matching the description, to call police on 101.
