A 45-year-old woman was propositioned by a man demanding sexual acts for money in Lancaster town centre early on Saturday morning.

The woman was waiting in the city bus station when the man, of Spanish origin, sat next to her, struck up a conversation and tried to kiss her. She moved away but he kept trying to touch her. Police said the offender eventually moved off and the woman was left quite shaken by the incident which happened at 7.30am.

They have issued a description of the offender. He was in his 20s, about 5ft 6ins tall and large with black curly hair. He was clean shaven with yellow stained teeth. He was wearing a black leather bomber style jacket with an elasticated waist. He was wearing a black patterned shirt and charcoal jeans and a tan coloured shirt.
