THE police hunt for a pervert who pushed a 16-year-old girl in a bush and sexually assaulted her in Morecambe was continuing last night. The schoolgirl was walking near to the junction of Westgate and and Westcliffe Drive in the early hours of Monday morning when she was attacked. He jumped her from behind, pushed her into the bushes and abused her.

He was 6ft, slim in his early 20s with dark hair. He wore a dark baseball cap and black waist-length puffa jacket.
