Elderly Man Sexually Assaulted
Police are hunting a man who sexually assaulted a pensioner in his own home.
Between 7pm and 7.20pm on Friday 22 January, the offender went into the 87-year-old victim's flat on Trinity Street, Oldham.
The householder was sitting watching television when the offender knelt down at the side of his chair and sexually assaulted him.
The victim told the man that his carer was due to arrive and the offender fled.
He is described as being black or Asian, of medium build and aged around 17 or 18. He was dressed in black and was wearing black shoes with yellow soles.
Detective Constable Simon Halliwell, of Oldham CID, said: "This elderly man has been left feeling shaken and understandably extremely upset by what has happened to him.
"We are doing everything we can to find who was responsible for this despicable attack, but we need the public’s help, so I'm appealing for anyone who may have seen anything suspicious to contact us."
He added: "Incidents like this are rare, but I'd advise people to take precautions when they're at home, by locking their doors and not letting in anyone they do not know."
