Officers investigating the reported sexual assault of a woman in the
Wombwell area of Barnsley last week have released an e-fit image of a
man they would like to identify.

At around 4.50pm on Wednesday 19 September, it is reported that a woman
in her 30s was walking along Rose Grove, Barnsley, with her child.

It is understood that a man driving an old model turquoise Jeep pulled
up alongside the woman and asked for directions to Sadler’s Gate.

As the woman approached the vehicle, the man is believed to have
sexually assaulted the woman. She ran away with her child and reported
the matter to police.

The woman was not injured during the incident, but has been left
distressed and upset.

It’s thought the man drove away from the scene.

Officers want to identify the individual pictured in the e-fit and ask
that anyone with information calls 101 quoting crime reference number
14/137243/18.
