A man has been arrested on suspicion of sexual assault after a woman was attacked in Tritton Road in Lincoln last week.

It happened last Saturday (July 17) at approximately 2am, outside the Co-Op Funeral Home.

Lincolnshire Police think the attack was an isolated incident.

Yesterday a 30 year old man from Lincoln was arrested and questioned on suspicion of sexual assaulted.

He's since been bailed pending further enquiries.

The investigation is ongoing and police are urging anyone with information to get in touch.

Officers are looking for people who may have dashcam or CCTV footage taken in the Tritton Road and Skellingthorpe Road areas between 10pm and 10.45pm on July 18.

Detective Inspector Vickie Ward said:

“This was an incredibly distressing incident for the victim, and we are completing a thorough investigation to do all we can to identify the person responsible.

"Any information, no matter how small you think it might be, could lead to this offender being brought to justice.

“The suspect is believed to have made off in the direction of the City School down Skellingthorpe Road, but it is not known which direction he came from.

"We hope that the appeal for dashcam footage covering the wider area and timescale might lead to some information which can lead us to him."
