Police are appealing for witnesses after reports of a man exposing himself and making sexual advances to a passer-by in a Salford park.

Officers were called to reports of a woman being grabbed by an unknown man in Buile Hill Park at around 4.15pm on Tuesday near the Lower Seedley Road side of the park.

A further call was then received, after reports a man was exposing himself on Eccles New Road.

Greater Manchester Police believe the two incidents are linked.

The man is described as a white man, in his late teens to early twenties and between 5ft 5 and 5ft 8 inches tall.

He was dressed in a dark-coloured beanie hat, dark-coloured top, tracksuit bottoms and dark trainers.

It is believed that he spoke with a local accent.

Detective Inspector Gareth Humphreys, of the Salford district, said:  “We need to speak to this man as soon as possible and as such, we are appealing for the public’s help. We are asking for homes, businesses and vehicles in the area to check their CCTV and doorbell/dashcam footage around the time of the incidents.

“It’s important that residents and other members of the public in the area feel safe and reassured and as such, we have increased our patrols, particularly in and around Buile Hill Park.

“If there is anyone who has any information, please contact Salford CID on 0161 856 5261 or dial 101 and quote log number 232 of 14 March 2023. Information can also be passed anonymously to the independent charity – Crimestoppers – on 0800 555 111.”
