POLICE are looking for a man who assaulted two girls as they walked near a school.

At about 6pm on Monday, the 15-year-old girls were walking along the perimeter path of Ian Ramsey School, in Greens Lane, Stockton, when they were approached by a man in his 30s.

As they walked along the path from Greens Lane to the rear of the sports field, the man came up to them and pushed one of the girls aside, before grabbing at the other girl's clothing.

He then ran off.

The man is described as white, aged 30 to 40, with short dark hair. He was wearing a light blue T-shirt and dark jogging bottoms.

The girls were left shaken by the incident, but not hurt.

Anyone with information is asked to call PC Paul Trippett, of Stockton Police, on 01642-302226.
