Police are appealing for witnesses after a 15 year old girl was sexually assaulted in a park in Salford.

The incident was reported to police three days later after the girl experienced a medical episode at home.

The victim reported being followed by a black man in his 30s or 40s while walking in Buile Park at around 9:30am on Thursday 27th May. She 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."
