The man is described as white, approximately 5 ft 6 inches tall, wearing dark jogging bottoms, a sweater and neon pink trainers. He was carrying a rucksack and had his face covered.
Det Sgt Justin Downes said: “The girl involved did the right thing by running away and telling her parent.
“We are conducting enquiries in relation to this incident and still have some CCTV footage from the local area to obtain, however, in the meantime we would be keen to hear from anyone who may have seen a man matching the description in the area shortly after 6pm yesterday.
