A MAN threatened to rape a young girl in Gorton.
At about 9.50pm on Saturday 9 May 2009, a 12-year-old girl was near to the Mecca Bingo on Hyde Road when she was approached from behind.
The offender told the victim he would rape her if she didn't go with him.
The victim ran off to find her friends and the offender also ran off.
He is described as a light skinned Asian man wearing a black hooded jacket with shiny stripes and a balaclava.
Detective Constable Chris Prince, from Longsight CID, said: "The victim is understandably deeply upset by what has happened but thankfully she managed to run off before this man was able to carry out his disturbing threat.
"The girl was on her way home from the fair on Crowcroft Park and so I would appeal to others who may have been there or who might have seen a man acting suspiciously in the area to call police."
Anyone with information is asked to call Longsight CID on 0161 856 4335 or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
