POLICE have launched a desperate manhunt after a 19-year-old woman was threatened with knife and dragged across the road. <\/p>\n

Officers said that a 19-year-old was waiting at a bus stop when a man grabbed her – threatening "I've got a knife" before dragging her across the road.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But thankfully, the man frightened off after a motorist spotted the attack and stopped – chasing the suspect away.<\/p>\n

Cops have now released CCTV in an attempt to find the man – with the footage showing a figure walking along the road before the attack happened at Oldham Road, Manchester just after midnight on Tuesday 7 September.<\/p>\n

The man is described as being white, approximately 5ft 8in tall, of a slim build and in his 40s, with dark eyes and dark shoulder length hair. <\/p>\n

At the time of the attack, he was wearing a blue jumper. <\/p>\n

Police are now searching for the man, saying that it's believed the man lived in the Chadderton area of Oldham and had spent the day working on roofs.<\/p>\n

Police have previously issued an E-Fit of the man they want to trace.<\/p>\n

Detective Inspector Louise Edwards, of GMP's City of Manchester division, said: "This was a terrifying ordeal for the woman involved, and we're doing everything we can to identify and locate this man."<\/p>\n

Officers are asking anyone with information, or anyone who recognises the man to contact the police on 0161 856 1146 of 07\/09\/21 or the independent charity – Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111. <\/p>\n
