POLICE are trying to trace a man who grabbed a young teenage girl from behind as she walked along Castle Road in Kendal at around 3am last Saturday.
The girl, who has not been named, elbowed the man and bit his hand, drawing a lot of blood, before running off.
Police are not ruling out that the man may have mistaken the girl for somebody he knew.
He is described as aged between 25 and 30 and is of medium build.
He wore a red, waist-length jacket, light-coloured jeans and glasses.
