“We want people to go out, have fun and enjoy themselves but please look after each other, don’t drink to excess and stay safe.
“If you’re out in a group, stay in that group and when it’s time to go home, get a licenced taxi rather than walking home alone.”
The man was described as white, around 5ft 8ins tall, with blonde hair. He was wearing a light grey hooded top with black sleeves and dark jeans and did not speak with a local accent.
