    Attempted sexual assault in Exeter

    Woman grabbed from behind

    A woman's been attacked and an attempt made at sexually assaulting her in Exeter.

    The 25-year-old was walking near Heavitree Pleasure grounds between 10.30 and 10.40 last Tuesday night (4 September) when she was grabbed from behind by a man who put his hand over her mouth.

    They struggled and she managed to get away after a struggle, although she's been left shaken. The man ran off.

    The description of him is vague; he's white and was wearing a grey T-shirt, but if you can help - the attack was in Lymebourne Avenue, police need to hear from you.
