Picture of man who ‘could assist with investigation’ into ‘sexual assault’ at Harry Styles concert
Woman ‘sexually assaulted during Harry Styles concert’: Police release photo of man who ‘could help with investigation’ as they ask for information and footage
Police investigating an alleged assault at a Harry Styles ‘homecoming’ concert have released a photo of a man they’d like to speak to.
It is believed that the guest appearance, depicted with a beard and wearing a yellow T-shirt and sunglasses around his neck, could aid detectives in their investigations.
Police say a woman was approached from behind by a man at 8.30pm on June 15 last year ahead of the performance at Old Trafford Cricket Ground in Manchester.
The man then proceeded to sexually assault her, Greater Manchester police said.
The force issued a new appeal today in the hope that other concertgoers can help identify the man they wish to speak to.

A spokesperson said: ‘Agents have used several lines of investigation and now hope to seek new information.
“GMP now wants to identify this man, because they believe he can help with their investigation.
“If you have any information or cell phone images from the area at that time, officers are also asking you to get in touch.”
Detective Grace O’Rourke added: ‘We always take a robust approach to these types of reports and we have launched this new appeal to ensure we get justice for the victim.
“We will continue the investigation and we ask anyone with information to contact us.”
Around 70,000 fans flocked to the venue a year ago, just 20 miles from Holmes Chapel, Cheshire, where the pop star grew up and attended a local school.
And at the “hometown” concert, he paid emotional tribute to his elementary school teachers, saying they were “truly amazing.”
