A MAIN city centre car park has reopened after a police incident.
Coppergate Centre Car Park in York was reopened following an alleged sexual assault at around 7pm on Wednesday (September 30).
The cordon has also been removed from the footpath connecting Piccadilly to the Castle Car Park.
It comes after North Yorkshire Police launched an appeal to find a man who may have important information to help the investigation into the sexual assault.
A police spokesperson said: “The victim continues to be supported by specially trained officers while detectives carry out urgent enquiries to establish the full circumstances surrounding what happened.
“As part of our investigation, we are working to identify a white man who was seen in the city centre around the time of the incident.
“He is described as wearing a pink T-shirt with a black circular logo on the front.
“We believe this man may have important information which could assist our investigation and are urging him to come forward and speak to us.”
