Detectives investigating a sexual assault in the area of Charlotte Place, Kettering, are appealing for witnesses who may have seen something to come forward.

On Sunday, July 21, between 8pm and 8.30pm, a woman who was wearing a blue t-shirt, black shorts and a black baseball cap, was running on the path near to the river in the area close by to Grange Pocket Park when she was grabbed from behind by a man who sexually assaulted her.

He is described as a white man in his 20s wearing black clothing.

She was able to scream which resulted in the man running away before he could continue with the assault, and the woman was able to escape.

Detectives are now appealing for people who may have seen the woman before the assault or immediately afterwards to contact them.

They are particularly interested in talking to a dog walker who was walking two dalmatians as well as four young males who were also in the area at the time.

All five may have seen the woman before the assault took place and could provide vital information which may assist the investigation.
