Hunt for man after ‘indecent act’ on Ferris wheel at Download Festival

A man is being sought in connection with a reported act of indecency which took place at a popular music festival.

Officers from Leicestershire Police are investigating following the reported incident which took place on a Ferris wheel at the festival in Castle Donington on June 13.

A couple were reportedly seen caught in an intimate act on the wheel while fans were waiting for Guns ‘n’ Roses to arrive on stage at the festival.

Officers have identified a woman who was voluntarily interviewed in connection with the incident.

The force is now hoping to speak with a man in relation to what happened and has released an image as part of their investigation.

In the photo, the man is shirtless, wearing a silver dog tag necklace and wearing large sunglasses.

Anyone with information on who he may be is asked to contact Leicestershire police to assist in the investigation.

This past weekend, at least 23 people were injured in a ‘stampede’ at a music festival in north London.

Ghana Party in the Park, a festival celebrating Ghanaian culture as part of ShattaFest UK, was ‘abruptly’ cancelled after the crowd crush at around 6pm.

A small fire broke out by the entrance of the event at Copthall Playing Fields in Barnet, causing a build-up of excited festival-goers.

When the gates reopened, dozens of people crammed into the park just after security.

Some festival-goers tripped over, trapping them under the surge of the crowd as guards tried to pull them free, footage from plus1tv showed.

Revellers continued to push through even as police officers and organizers used megaphones to tell them to stop.
