An 18-year-old woman was sexually assaulted in broad daylight as she walked in Middlesbrough.
Police are now appealing to trace a Good Samaritan who stepped in to help the victim.
The young woman was making her way along Stephenson Street towards Borough Road at around 12.15pm on Tuesday when a man grabbed the victim and made sexually explicit comments towards her.
A female member of the public intervened to assist the victim and left the scene without leaving her details.
Officers would like to speak to this woman as it is believed she may be able to assist with inquiries.
The suspect is described as a white male, aged in his late thirties to early forties, around 5ft 6in to 5ft 7in tall, of slim build, with short blond hair and missing upper and lower teeth.
Police would encourage the woman or any other witnesses to contact Detective Constable Andy Bean or Detective Sergeant Guy Newnam from Middlesbrough Volume Crime Team on 101.
