Police are investigating after a woman was sexually assaulted “in broad daylight” while using a cash machine outside HSBC in Altrincham town centre.
The 28-year-old was using the cash machine on the Moss Lane side of the bank at 4.30pm on Wednesday March 4th when the man approached her from behind.
He sexually assaulted her by touching and ran off towards Altrincham Interchange. He was then seen getting on to the 11a bus towards Stockport.

The man is described as being white, 5ft 10in tall, of medium build, in his mid 30s and with bad skin. He wore a dark coloured hooded top and beanie hat.
Police have now issued the photo of a man they would like to speak to following the incident:
Police Constable Katie Colebrook said: “The victim could not believe the offender had assaulted her in such a way and in broad daylight. I would ask anyone who may have been in the Moss Lane area and witnessed what happened to contact us.
“I would also appeal to those who recognise the person in the image and to the person himself to call us so we can eliminate him from our enquiries.”
Anyone with information should phone police on 0161 856 7530 or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
