A man walked behind her and groped her while she was looking at clothes on the first floor, Greater Manchester Police said.

He then continued to follow the girl around the shop and when she stopped for a second time, she felt her skirt being lifted.

Upon turning around, she noticed what is believed to be a mobile phone in the man’s hand.

The girl ran to a member of her family and told them what had happened.

While the family member and the victim were still inside the store, the offender reappeared and – not realising the girl’s family member was close by – attempted to approach the girl again.

The family member challenged the man, who became very agitated and quickly made off through the main entrance.

Police have now released an image of a man they want to speak to in connection with the incident.
