Police have released an e-fit image of a man they believe is connected to the sexual assault of a teenage girl.

The girl, who is in her mid-teens, was walking from Fairfields towards New Bradwell in Milton Keynes at around 3:30pm on Thursday, August 29 when the assault happened.

As she walked through an alleyway near the Tesco in Wolverton, a man approached her and spoke to her inappropriately.

He also tried to grab hold of her arms and inappropriately touched her over her clothing before kissing her. 

A member of the public then walked into the alleyway, prompting the offender to walk away, jump on a bike and ride off.

Thames Valley Police has now released an e-fit image of a man in his fifties they want to speak to in connection with the sexual assault.

The man pictured is around 5 ft 7 ins with a wide build, double chin and spiked grey hair.

He was wearing a navy-blue long-sleeved quarter-zipped jumper and navy-blue bottoms when spotted.
