Mar 9 2011 by Matt Hurst, Birkenhead News

A 13-YEAR-OLD girl and a 20-year-old woman were left shaken following two separate indecent assaults in Birkenhead and Bromborough.

An e-fit of a man wanted in connection with the incident in Bromborough, on February 19, has been released by police.

At around 3.40pm that day, near the A41, a 20-year-old woman walked by a man talking on his mobile phone, when he commented on her appearance and touched her inappropriately.

When the woman tried to walk away the assailant touched her again, before she was able to escape by running across the road.

The woman was left uninjured but shaken.

The offender is described as Asian, about 5ft 9in tall, in his early 20s, with short, black hair.

He was wearing a black, shiny, bubble type jacket and baggy blue jeans.

In a separate but similar incident, just two days later, a 13-year-old girl and her 15-year-old friend were left shaken in the St Anne Street area of Birkenhead.

At about 8pm, they were approached by a man who attempted to kiss the 13-year-old, before touching her bottom. The girls were able to run away and their parents contacted police.

This offender is described as about 20-years-old, 5ft 4in tall and of slim build, with black greasy hair and a spotty complexion.

He was wearing a dark-coloured tracksuit and called himself, ‘Jamie’.
