A 'stalker' who tried to flee the country after attacking a woman in Dewsbury has been jailed after pleading guilty to attempted rape.

Krisztian Glonczi forced a woman to the ground near Taylor Street on the 11th September, before she managed to fight him off.

The 23-year-old from Killpin Hill Lane in Dewsbury was arrested when he was seen walking past the street a few days later.

He was not known to police at the time, but detectives said further investigations revealed he had stalked the victim.

Glonczi tried to leave the country while investigations took place, but was unable to escape after losing his passport.

Detective Inspector Guy Shackleton, who led the investigation said: “Krisztian Glonczi is a dangerous sexual predator who stalked his victim before then attacking her in broad daylight.

“The victim’s actions enabled officers to very quickly mount a full investigation into what occurred and then identify Glonczi, a first-time offender who was not known to police.

“We always encourage all victims of such offences to come forwards to allow us to investigate and for partners to provide them with the help and support they may need.”
