Police have warned the public not to approach a man they want to speak to in connection with a serious sexual assault on a woman in Gloucester.

An appeal has been made to “help urgently locate” 21-year-old Ion Bogdan after an incident in Barton Street in the early hours of Saturday.

He is also wanted in connection with a previous sexual assault last year, as well as failing to answer bail.

Gloucestershire Constabulary has appealed to the man to hand himself in.

Bogdan, who also goes by the alias Florin, is described as being white, 5ft 8in tall, of a medium build, with cropped black hair and a black beard.

Detective Sergeant Faye Satchwell-Bennett said: “I would urge anyone who knows his whereabouts, or any member of the public who sees him, not to approach him but to call police immediately.

“I also appeal directly to this individual to come forward and hand himself in.”

Anyone with information about Bogdan’s whereabouts should call 999, quoting incident 70 of 29 January, or Crimestoppers can be called anonymously on 0800 555111.
