Manchester: 23-year-old trans woman attacked on night out
Police are searching for a man who assaulted a young transgender woman last month on Manchester’s Canal Street.
The incident happened in the early hours of Saturday 28 September.
The 23-year-old victim was followed past Via Fossa bar at 4:45am and grabbed around the neck, but the attacker was disturbed by friends who came to her aid.
She had long blonde hair and was wearing a dress and heels.
Police have now released a CCTV image of a suspect and are appealing for anyone who recognises him to come forward.
