OFFICERS are investigating an alleged sexual assault in a Carlisle park.

Police are probing the incident which took place at about 5.30pm on September 29, in Rickerby Park.

The victim, a 15-year-old girl, may have spoken to fellow dog walkers before the attack.

The girl has long blonde hair in a ponytail and was wearing leggings, a crop top and a white tracksuit top.

Officers say a boy of a similar age, who was wearing black, may have been with the girl, or in the same area as her.

A 14-year-old boy has since been arrested on suspicion of sexual touching, but has been released under investigation.

Any witnesses are asked to contact police on 101, quoting log number 204 of September 29.
