Police have released a new CCTV picture of a man they would like to speak to after a woman was sexually assaulted in Liverpool City Centre.
At around 8.50pm on Sunday, April 30, it was reported a man touched a woman inappropriately at Coyote Ugly, on Bold Street. The man was removed from the premises by security and then left the area.
Extensive CCTV and witness enquiries have been conducted by Merseyside Police, and we have now issued a CCTV image of a man we believe could assist in the investigation.
