THIS is the face of a sex beast who tried to rape an 11-year-old girl at knifepoint as she walked home from school.
Police are now hunting for the man after the attempted sex attack – releasing an artist's impression to help track him down.
Horrifying details of the attempted attack have today been released by detectives, who say the man, who had a dog with him, swooped on the schoolgirl as she walked through Babbs Mill Park in Solihull just before 3pm on June 29.
A spokesperson said: "She suffered a cut to the neck from a knife and was treated in hospital before being discharged.
"she continues to be supported by specially trained officers."
Since the attack, police have visited nearly 1,300 homes in the area and examined hours of CCTV footage.
Det Insp Joe Davenport, leading the investigation, told Birmingham Live: "(The victim) has physically recovered, but emotionally, this is something she may never fully recover from, despite receiving specially-trained support."
He added: “This has been a huge investigation, involving officers and specialist staff from around the force.
“I’m releasing the artist’s impression today because most of the work collecting witness statements and viewing CCTV has now been completed, and it was important to focus on gathering that time critical, local information first.
“I’d urge people to take a close look at the image. Is it someone you know? Is it someone you’ve seen out and about in the area. We need to hear from you, even if it’s so that we can rule somebody out of our investigation.
“We are determined to bring this dangerous man to justice, and the information you provide could be pivotal."
