POLICE are urgently hunting for a man after a teenage girl said she’d been raped while walking through a park with friends.
The force has now released a CCTV image of a man they wish to speak to after the horror attack on Thursday.
The teen said she had been walking with a group of pals through South Yorkshire‘s Eastwood Playing Fields around 9pm.
She said she was then attacked and raped by a man in the park, off Eldon Road and Hardwicke Road, in the Eastwood area of the town.
South Yorkshire Police said the man was described as white, around 18-20 years old and approximately 5ft 8ins tall.
He was said to have been of medium build, and with short brown hair in a ‘back and sides’ haircut.
The force said he was thought to be wearing a plain grey hoody and blue jogging bottoms with stripes down the leg, and white trainers.
