Teen 'assaulted' while on Ilkley Moor dog walk

A 16-year-old girl was reportedly assaulted on Ilkley Moor whilst walking her dog.

She was targeted at about 16:15 GMT on Monday by a man near to The Poetry Seat, according to the report.

The victim suffered minor injuries that did not require hospital treatment but was "left shaken by the incident", West Yorkshire Police said.

Police described the suspect, who ran off after her dog started barking, as a white male aged between 30 to 60, clean shaven and dressed in scruffy clothing.

Det Insp Rachel McKay said: "This is clearly a serious incident where a 16-year-old girl has been assaulted.

"Officers are supporting the victim and her family at this time."

She added: "We are keen to speak to anyone who was in the area who may have seen this incident or the man described."
