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.

If you witnessed the assault or saw a man running in the area at that time, please call police on 101m quoting crime  reference CR/081478/18. Calls cost 15 pence.
