A teenage woman has been subjected to what police describe as a serious sexual assault in the centre of Weston-super-Mare.
The 19-year-old was walking along High Street on Monday when a red car pulled up outside the Lloyds TSB Bank.
A male passenger got out of the car, approached the woman, and forced her into a lane alongside a pub.
He then sexually assaulted her.
The suspect is described as a white man in his early 20s, of large build, with short spiky hair.
He was wearing glasses, black trousers and a brown suede jacket.
Police are appealing for witnesses.
