Detectives have been told an unknown man sat beside a mother and her 14-year-old daughter at a sporting family day on Punt Road in Richmond about 10.50am.

The man is described as aged in his 60s, tall with a pale complexion and had moles on his legs.
He was wearing a navy jumper, white cap, navy shorts with a white stripe on the side, trekking style runners and blue socks with green and black print.

Investigators have released a facial composite and a profile image of a man they believe may be able to assist with their enquiries.
