A woman was attacked walking home from a night out.
Bristol police have launched an appeal for information after a woman was sexually assaulted walking home after a night out in the city.
She was attacked by a man on Muller Road sometime between 11pm on Friday 19th of April and 1am the next day.
Her attacker is described as white, of slim build and average height with grey, white or blonde shoulder length hair. He wore dark trousers and a dark bomber jacket.
Detective Constable Molly Finch, of the specialist rape and sexual offences investigations team Operation Bluestone, said: “This is a traumatic crime and we’re doing everything we can to ensure the victim has the support she needs.
“It can be upsetting for victims to see details of what happened to them online or in the media and so we wanted to progress our initial enquiries before making a public appeal.
“Were you out on Gloucester Road or Muller Road on the Friday night of this attack?
“Or did you see anything which on reflection and knowing this assault took place, now seems suspicious?
“If you did, or if you recognise the description of the offender, please contact us as soon as you can.”
Anyone who witnessed anything suspicious at the time is asked to contact police on 101 using the reference 5224100682.
