Police have issued a photofit of a man they are hunting in connection with an attack on a woman in Bath.
They have also released CCTV stills of the man, who grabbed the woman in Catharine Place early on Sunday morning.
He is described as southern European with light tanned skin, and spoke with a European accent. He is in his 40s, clean shaven, 5ft 8-9ins tall and of medium build.
He has short cropped straight dark hair going grey on the sides, balding on the crown, with the front and side of his hair pushed back as if he is hiding a bald patch. He was wearing a round neck jumper which was mottled dark grey with white flecks, of thick material, white underneath - giving the appearance of a white t-shirt without a collar, casual slightly baggy grey or blue trousers and dark coloured daps with white trim around the soles.
The man ran off when a member of the public stopped to come to the woman's aid, heading for Gay Street and then down George Street.
Police want anyone who can recognise the man, or saw someone matching his description and appearance at around 3.30am on Sunday, to contact Bath CID on 101.
The woman was not seriously injured in the assault but was left shocked.
