A man who subjected a woman to a serious sexual assault during what's been described as an horrific attack in Peterborough has been jailed .
In the early hours of January 21st 25 year old Jake Brown of St Audrey Close, Histon is said to have punched and even bitten her at a property in the city.
She was eventually able to escape and used a neighbour's phone to get help.
Brown had stolen her phone - he was arrested at the railway later in the day.
At Peterborough Crown court he denied rape, assault causing actual bodily harm, false imprisonment, sexual assault, criminal damage and theft.
