“The young girl has been left extremely traumatised by what happened as since then, does not want to return to the city centre. We have trawled CCTV from Affleck’s Palace and other sources and obtained a still of a man we are keen to get in contact with. I would ask anyone who recognises him to call us as soon as possible.
“From the footage, we believe this man has four tattoos, one on the outside of his right forearm, one on the outside of his right bicep, one on the outside of his left calf and possibly a band tattoo round the upper part of his left arm. If you know who he is, please pick up the phone.”
