This is the face of a man believed to have indecently assaulted a 14-year-old boy on a footpath in Crawley.

The teenager was walking along the Broadfield Brook footpath when he noticed a man following him.

The boy headed towards the Broadfield Stadium but as he reached the end of the path, the man grabbed him and touched his trousers.

The boy shouted and his attacker ran back down the footpath.

The man in the picture was described as being about 6ft tall, in his 40s and had black hair.

He wore a fluorescent orange jacket, between thigh and knee length, with black trousers and training shoes. He smelt musty and had grubby hands.

He had wrinkles over his face and did not speak throughout the attack, which occurred on Wednesday, December 19, between 1.45pm and 2.25pm.

Detective Constable Becky Harris is urging anyone who recognises the man in the CD-fit to call her at Crawley CID on 0845 6070999.
