DETECTIVES are searching for a man with a "distinctive hairline" after a woman was sexually assaulted at a town centre bar.

The woman was drinking with friends and went to the toilet at Shots Bar and Grill in Bradshawgate.

Police said a man bumped into her and sexually assaulted her.

She shouted to the doorman who ejected him from the bar.

Now a CCTV image has been released of a man they would like to speak to in connection with the incident, which happened at about 1.20am on Monday, December 14.

PC Carla Cross, of Bolton police, said: "I strongly believe that someone would be able to identify this man who has a distinctive hairline. If you recognise this man please contact police."
