Police are now seeking information after a woman was sexually assaulted at a Harry Styles concert last year.

According to The Independent, the woman was approached by a man from behind when she was sexually assaulted at Old Trafford Cricket Ground at around 8.30pm on June 15, the Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said in a statement.

Officials have also released a photo of the man they want to speak to and say they have ‘utilised several lines of enquiry and are now hoping to seek fresh information’.

A spokesperson for the force said: "GMP would now like to identify this male, as they believe he could assist with their investigation".

GMP Detective Constable Grace O'Rourke added: “We always take a robust approach to these kinds of reports and we have launched this new appeal to ensure we get justice for the victim.

“We will continue to investigate and we are asking anyone with any information to please get in touch with us.”

Well, now that his man’s photo has been plastered all over news outlets, here's hoping the cops catch him soon.

Last September, a woman was also sexually assaulted in the mosh pit during a gig for a Brisbane band known as Beddy Rays in Hobart.

The incident has prompted a discussion regarding women’s safety at live music gigs.

Band member Lewis McKenna said while it was the first time an assault that he knew of unfolded at one of his shows, it’s not uncommon to happen at these kinds of gigs.

"Three of my female friends have actually experienced it before," he told ABC News.

"It wouldn't happen at every show, but it's actually much more common than we think."

After the crime was reported, the band posted to their social media the next day, highlighting this issue while reminding music goers to look out for one another in the crowd.

However, Mckenna said the industry at large needs to address this problem.

"We just want to try and nurture a bit of a culture around our shows that ... this is a safe space for anyone, it doesn't matter who you are, where you come from," he said.

"Between your mates, even little comments that people might make ... like a misogynistic comment or something like that. I think it's important to call that stuff out before it [becomes] something worse, someone actually acting out what they're saying."

Anyone who has any information has been urged to contact the police via www.gmp.police.uk or call 0161 856 7756.
