Officers are asking the public to help them trace a man following reports that an individual attempted to grab a girl in Derbyshire.

The incident took place on Plummer Road at Newhall – near to Chrysanthemum Court – between 8.00am and 8.50am on Friday, February 3.

A girl reported that she was approached by a man who tried to grab her as she was walking past.

The man was described as between 30 and 45-years-old, with brown unbrushed hair. He was wearing jogging bottoms and a grey t-shirt, and may also have had a cut or scar on his cheek. It is thought the road may have been busy with passing traffic.

This is the man that officers are trying to locate.

Officers wish to speak with the pictured man, who may have information that can aid their enquiries.
