A TEENAGE girl was dragged into an alleyway in a town centre attack on Saturday.
Cleveland Police are appealing for information after the 14-year-old was attacked at about 9.30pm, in Guisborough, east Cleveland.
The girl was walking to a bus stop, along Reid Terrace, after spending time with a friend, when a man approached her. He took hold of her arm and dragged her to a nearby alleyway.
But he ran off after the girl screamed, attracting the attention of an elderly couple walking nearby.
The man is described as white, in his 30s, medium build, and was wearing a black woollen hat.
Police are urging any witnesses to contact them, particularly the elderly couple.
Witnesses are asked to contact Redcar CID on (01642) 302626.
