Police are on the hunt for a man after a spate of homophobic graffiti in Leeds.

West Yorkshire Police want to identify the man over recent incidents in Bramley where the graffiti has been sprayed on bus shelters and other items in the street. One CCTV image they've released shows what appears to be a distinctive tattoo on his left wrist.

Anyone who recognises the man or who has any information that could assist the investigation is asked to contact PC 2289 Greenhough at Elland Road via 101 quoting crime reference 13240328766 or online.

Information can also be given anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
