Woman attacked in city's suburb

A woman has been indecently assaulted in Bristol, police have said.

The 33-year-old was walking along Cheltenham Road in Bishopston when she was approached by a man.

He grabbed the victim and pulled her into nearby Bath Buildings where he forcibly removed her trousers before being disturbed.

A passer-by shouted at the offender who then ran away. The victim was uninjured but was left shocked by the attack which took place on Friday evening.

Police said the offender was black, possibly a Somali, aged in his late 20s or early 30s, 5ft 5ins tall with a slim to medium build and short black hair in tight curls.

He had a very distinctive large mole on his top lip, below his right nostril, and was wearing a thigh-length black canvas coat.
