Police are hunting a sex attacker who indecently assaulted two nine-year-old girls near a Bradford park.

The girls were assaulted after a man approached them as they walked along Bowling Hall Road next to Bowling Park in East Bowling.

After their ordeal the girls reported what had happened to a woman in a blue coat who police are now trying to trace.

PC Nick Widdowson, of Odsal Police, said: "The girls are holding up quite well. Obviously the families are very upset and would be very grateful to anyone who came forward with information."

The man was described as white, appeared to be the age of a grandparent to the girls, and had brown hair. He wore brown-rimmed square glasses, a blue jacket with a white motif, dark blue jeans and blue and white trainers.

Police have urged the woman the girls spoke to and anyone else with information about the incident which occurred between 4pm to 6pm last Sunday to contact them on (01274) 376659.
