Detective Constable Jo Tinsley, said: “This is obviously a very concerning incident and we desperately need to speak to the two girls who were on Fairfield Street on Friday evening. “I want to reassure them that they are absolutely not in any trouble at all. “I also want any parent who thinks their child was in that area last night or whose child has mentioned something like this incident to them to give me a call. “Lastly, we are eager to trace the man who undoubtedly stopped something untoward from happening. Please, if this was you, get in touch.” Anyone with information is asked to call police on 0161 856 9314.
