Police are appealing for witnesses following the sexual assault of a teenage girl on Thursday 27 May in Buile Park in Salford.
The incident was reported to police last night (Sunday 30 May) after the girl experienced a medical episode at home.
Officers attended, and the 15 year old girl reported being followed by a black man in his 30s or 40s while walking in the park near the banqueting hall at around 9:30am, wearing a black tracksuit and red beanie hat. The girl was then grabbed from behind, and sexually assaulted.
Inspector Chris Horsfield from GMP's Salford district, said: "We're taking this very seriously and are following all available lines of enquiry to ensure the person responsible for this horrific attack is brought to justice.
"The victim is receiving support from specialist officers, and anyone with any concerns can talk to our officers in the area who are available and happy to speak to you.
"Anyone who may have seen anything or has any information is urged to get in touch to assist with our investigation, either by reporting it online or on LiveChat at www.gmp.police.uk quoting log number 3036 30/5/21.
