North Yorkshire Police are appealing for information about a sexual assault on a bus from Whitby.

An investigation has already been launched into the incident, which happened on 3 June, and today Police have released a CCTV image of a man in a distinctive T-shirt who they would like to trace.

It happened on the Arriva X4 bus which left Whitby bus station at 2.45pm on 3 June.
