Police are trying to trace a man after a woman was sexually assaulted on a bus.

North Yorkshire Police have released a CCTV image of a man officers want to speak to.

He was dressed in a "distinctive" black T-shirt with a white circle on the back.

The victim was sexually touched by another passenger on the Arriva X4 service to Loftus, which left Whitby on 3 June at 14:45 BST.

The suspect was described as an Asian man aged in his late 20s or early 30s, of slim build, wearing blue jogging bottoms and a dark top, and carrying a tennis racket in a case.

He left the bus after the offence was committed.
