Sussex Police have released an image of a man in connection with a report of sexual assault in Horsham.

A woman in her late teens reported being approached by a man on a bench outside Sainsbury's supermarket in Worthing Road at around 15:30 GMT on 10 February.

"The man spoke to her and shook the bench, before sexually assaulting her," a police statement said.

Officers want to speak to a man, described as in his 60s and around 5'10" tall, with short dark grey hair.

He was wearing black glasses and what police have described as a "distinctive" camouflage jacket with a palm pattern.

Anyone who recognises the man or who witnessed the incident should contact the police.
