CCTV footage shown in a rape trial shows a man catching up with a 70-year-old woman and taking her by the hand.
The alleged incident is one of two for which Issa Brayzi-Pour is on trial this week.
This alleged incident and another alleged incident, a separate sexual assault on a teenage girl under the age of 16, were within less than two weeks of each other in Farnworth in the summer of last year.
Brayzi-Pour, of Avondale Road in Wigan, is charged with two counts of rape, one count of sexual assault and one count of inciting a child to engage in sexual activity. He denies all charges against him.
Prosecutor Henry Blackshaw showed to the court a compilation of footage from the night of the alleged incident with the 70-year-old woman. In it, Brayzi-Pour catches up with her in the street and takes hold of her hand.

In a police interview also shown to the court, the woman said: "He asked are you single, I said no. He asked again, I said no."
She said: "It was like I was there but not there because of the shock.
"I wanted to scream and shout, but sometimes people take no notice."

Earlier this week, Mr Blackshaw explained how Brayzi-Pour was arrested a matter of days later outside Home Bargains.
Mr Blackshaw explained how Brayzi-Pour told police he was elsewhere at the time of the alleged incident, but abandoned this alibi when DNA samples taken from the alleged victim matched DNA samples taken from him in custody.
In the case of the 70-year-old woman, defence barrister Bunty Batra is expected to suggest she consented to sexual intercourse.
And in the case of the teenage girl who is under the age of 16, Mr Batra is expected to suggest she lied about the sexual assault.
The trial before Recorder Andrew McLoughlin at Bolton Crown Court continues.
