POLICE have release CCTV footage of a man they want to speak to in connection with reported incident involving a 14-year-old girl.

The teenager was followed by the man after leaving a bus at Bournemouth's Harewood Avenue.

The man, who had earlier boarded the bus at the same time as the girl, approached her after they both disembarked.

After asking her for directions he is alleged to have made inappropriate comments towards her.

PC Jonathan Bedwell, of Bournemouth CID, said: "As part of my investigation, I am now in a position to issue CCTV images of a man I would like to speak to.

"I am keen to identify him and would urge anyone who recognises him to please contact Dorset Police as I believe he may be able to help me with my investigation.

"Anyone who has further information about the incident should contact police."

The man and the teenager both boarded the bus outside the Texaco garage, Holdenhurst Road, around 9am on Tuesday, October 4.

Police only released details of the incident earlier today.
