Police are hunting a man who followed a woman along Otley Street in Skipton.

“The man was clearly harassing her and giving her unwanted attention,” said a police spokesman.

“Several members of the public came to the female’s aid and she came straight to the police station to report the matter.”

Now officers would like to hear from any member of the public who was there at the time and witnessed the incident, which occurred between the Magistrates Court and The Albion public house at 4.10pm on Thursday, December 19.
