A 13-YEAR-OLD has been indecently assaulted in public toilets in Radcliffe.

The teenager walked into the toilets in Market Place, Short Street, on Monday at about 10.30am and was grabbed from behind and pushed into a cubicle where he was assaulted.

PC Tracey Quinn, of Whitefield police, said: "The boy was left extremely shaken by what happened. The toilets are next to the market and it was busy at the time. Someone must have seen this man entering or leaving the toilets, or maybe other people using those toilets around that time witnessed him acting suspiciously."

The offender is described as a white man, approximately 40 years old, between 5ft 5ins and 5ft 7ins tall and of stocky build. He had a bald or shaved head and was wearing grey trousers and what has been described as a beige, knee-length fur coat.
