COPS have launched an urgent hunt for a man after a schoolgirl was allegedly sexually assaulted in broad daylight.
Avon and Somerset Police have urged anyone with information to come forward after the attack in Taunton.
The victim, who is a child in her early-teens, was walking along Hamilton Road, near the junctions with Bridgwater Road and Ilminster Road, when it happened at approximately 10.15am on April 20.
