Police in Sheffield are appealing for information after a woman was reportedly sexually assaulted while walking to work.
At around 3pm on Wednesday 23 August, it is reported that a woman was walking along Chippingham Street in Attercliffe towards the tram stop when she was approached by an unknown man as she crossed onto a nearby bridge.
The man asked for her phone number and when the woman declined, he touched her inappropriately over her clothing and tried to kiss her.
The victim attempted to leave, crossing over the bridge before being able to phone police, which prompted the offender to leave the scene on foot.
The man is described as Asian, around 5ft 7ins, of slim build, between 18 to 20-years-old, with short black hair and wearing rectangular thin-framed glasses.
He was wearing electric blue clothing described as traditional Asian style.
Were you in the area between 3pm and 4pm? Were you waiting at the tram stop on Attercliffe Road? Did you see anything suspicious?
Anyone with information is asked to contact 101 quoting incident 663 of 23 August 2017.
