POLICE are appealing for members of the public to help them identify a man in connection with an investigation into inappropriate behaviour towards a teenage girl.

Officers said a 17-year-old girl had been followed on two separate occasions by an unknown male, while she was using the 173 or 174 bus service from Radstock to Bath.

The inappropriate behaviour was said to have continued after the teenager had exited the bus and entered Bath city centre. Police said a man made inappropriate comments to her on two occasions, between 12 pm and 1pm on Sunday, February 11, and again on Sunday, February 18.

Police described the man as “Asian, between 20-30 years old, of slim build, with short dark hair, and a moustache/beard.”

Avon and Somerset Police said: “If you recognise this man, or have any other information which would help us identify him, please call us on 101 and give the call handler the reference number 5224043833.”
