Woman sketches sex attackers
Drawings of the attackers
The two men escaped in a small white van
A woman who was indecently assaulted in Manchester has helped police by producing drawings of her attackers.

The 34-year-old was attacked shortly after 0600 GMT on 4 November in Kirkmanshulme Lane, Longsight.

As she was walking down the road two men got out of a small white van which had pulled up behind her and one of them indecently assaulted her while the other held her down.

They then climbed back in the van and drove off.

'Extremely shaken'

Detective Constable Ian Strong, of Greater Manchester Police, said: "Although this was quite early in the morning, there were a number of people about.

"The victim has been left extremely shaken by what happened.

"She has managed to draw her attackers and if anyone recognises these men or saw the van at around the time of the incident, I would ask them to get in touch."

The first man is described as white, of medium build, aged 25 to 30, with curly dark hair, unshaven and wore a light coloured shirt and dark trousers.

His accomplice was white, of medium build and aged about 28.
