CCTV being reviwed after the incident involving a 14-year-old girl

Police are investigating an incident in which a 14-year-old schoolgirl had to spit in a man’s face, after he had jumped out of his car and grabbed her in the street. CCTV footage is now being reviewed by the police as part of their investigation.

The incident happened on Monday, January 16, at around 4.30pm.

The man was driving a red coloured car, which had distinctive gold-rimmed alloy wheels and tinted windows.

The schoolgirl was walking along Fulmere Crescent, Parson Cross, in Sheffield, when a man pulled up beside her and told her to get in his car.

When she said “No”, the man got out of his vehicle and shouted at the 14-year-old, to which she then started to run away. The man chased after the young schoolgirl and grabbed hold of her on Knutton Crescent.

The brave teenager spat in his face, which made him run back to his vehicle.

The 14-year-old girl’s Mum posted on Facebook, to warn other young girls and parents to stay alert and safe after what had happened.

The girl’s Mum also mentioned the fact that her daughter assumed the man would have driven away after spitting in his face but when she was running home, the teenager saw the man sitting watching her from the end of Fulmere Crescent.

CCTV footage from the area is now being reviewed by the police.

The man has been described as being in his late 20s to early 30s, with a tanned complexion, around 5ft 10ins tall, medium build with a designer stubble beard. He’s believed to have bushy eyebrows, dark blue eyes and had a brace. He may have been wearing a grey hooded top.

Detectives investigating the incident are now urging anyone with information to call the police on 101.
