Greater Manchester Police (GMP) have released footage of a man they want to speak to following an alleged sexual assault on a man who’d been on a night in Manchester’s gay village. 

GMP released the CCTV image on Wednesday (28 August). The victim, 21, is believed to have met a man in Manchester’s gay village at around 1.30am on 14 July.

The victim later ‘blacked out’ and woke up in his hotel room the next morning. Greater Manchester Police said CCTV shows the victim being ‘escorted’ to the hotel room by an unknown male.

The unidentified man is pictured wearing dark trousers, a pink hoodie and a grey-and-black puffer North Face jacket. He has dark hair.
