Avon & Somerset Police say they are aware of incidents between 1-2pm on Tuesday 20th September in the SouthGate area where an unknown man touched four women inappropriately.

The suspect is described as male, about 5ft 5ins, with grey hair and about 60-70 years old.

CCTV images of a man that officers would like to speak to as part of their enquiries have been released. He is seen wearing a jacket and a black and white hat.

Bath Beat Manager PC Lynn Capewell said: “As with any sexual offence, we will ensure the victims receive any support they need following these incidents.

“Nobody was physically injured in these sexual assaults, but we are conscious the upset and mental toll these types of assaults can have on victims, both in the short and long term.

“The CCTV images have been shared with Bath officers who are out on patrol in the city centre to try to help our enquiries.

“We are also asking the public to look at the pictures we are releasing and to call us on 101 if they recognise this man, quoting reference number 5222228862.”
