Porirua Police are seeking public help to find a man who attempted to lift the skirt of a school girl as she walked home in Tawa last week.
Police say the 12-year-old girl reacted swiftly when a male Indian, aged about 40 years, tried to lift her skirt as she walked along Franklyn Road, Tawa, shortly after 4pm on Tuesday, 12 February.
