Transit Crime Investigation Unit detectives are investigating a sexual assault that occurred on a route 96-tram last month.
Investigators have been told a 14-year-old girl was on a tram heading from Southern Cross Station to St Kilda about 10.30am on Sunday 2 February.
An unknown man approached the girl from behind and sexually assaulted her before getting off the tram in St Kilda.
Investigators have released an image of a man they believe may be able to assist with their enquiries.
The man is perceived to be of Indian Sub-Continental appearance, aged 25-30-years-old, approximately 180cm tall, and has a medium build.
He was wearing a black t-shirt, blue jeans, white runners and has distinctive tribal style tattoos on his upper right arm and forearm.
