Police are investigating a sexual assault on a teenage girl at a bus stop in Belfast.
The incident happened on Adelaide Street in the city centre at about 9.30pm on Saturday.
The PSNI said a man reportedly approached the girl while she was waiting for a bus with some friends.
In a statement, the force added: “The man, described as approximately mid-40s, heavy build, bald with a black beard, wearing a beige jacket with pockets and blue jeans, then groped the girl and made sexual comments towards her.”
Officers appealed for anyone who was in the area at the time and who witnessed anything suspicious to come forward.
