The attacker is described as 5ft 10in, with a slim build, a colourful sleeve tattoo on his left forearm, mousy-coloured dreadlocks, and an “unkempt” ginger beard.

Chief Inspector, Stuart Johnson, has said: “If this individual sees this appeal I urge him to do the right thing and hand himself in.

“Whilst we understand people are worried within the community, we don’t want people to be alarmed – there is no specific threat to the general public. However we have concerns about the suspect’s state of mind so people should not make any direct approaches.

“We have specialist search teams out looking for him and have increased patrols throughout the area.”
