Officers investigating two incidents, in which a man reportedly exposed himself and sexually assaulted a woman in Sheffield, have released an e-fit image of a man they want to identify.

The first incident is said to have occurred on Monday 12 June, at around 6pm, when a 36-year-old woman was walking along Scott Road, Sheffield.

As the woman walked up a passage, just off the side of the road, she saw a man standing at the top of some steps towards the end of the passage. The man is said to have shouted towards her before exposing himself.

Two weeks later, on Monday 26 June, the woman was waiting at a bus stop on Spital Street at around 12pm when she saw the same man also standing at the bus stop.

The man is said to have grabbed her bottom before the woman moved away and phoned police.

PC Jenna Baker, the investigating officer, said: “Since the incidents were reported to us, officers have reviewed CCTV footage of the relevant areas, spoken to numerous witnesses and have worked with the victim to produce an e-fit of the offender.

“While I appreciate these incidents happened a while ago, I’d like to ask that anyone who recognises the man pictured, or thinks they know who he could be, to please contact us.

“If you can help, please call 101 quoting incident number 409 of 26 June 2017. If you want to remain anonymous, please call Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.”
