Monkgate, York
The victim was returning home from the city centre when an unknown man approached her and started walking with her.
He said he was a student and appeared friendly, so they chatted.
Then the suspect started to insist on walking the victim back to her home address, put his arms around her, and rubbed his hands on her.
The victim told him to stop and if he didn’t, she would shout out. The suspect eventually turned around and walked away.
A North Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: “We are keen to speak to a man pictured on CCTV, as he may have important information that could assist the investigation.”
