A 40-year-old woman was indecently assaulted as she walked home from a nightclub.

Detectives are appealing for help in tracing the attacker, who struck in Park Crescent, Abingdon.

The woman had just left Stratton's nightclub in the town centre and had taken a route along Ock Street and Conduit Road when the attack took place at 1.20am on Friday, February 16.

She saw a man walking towards her but did not look up. He appeared to walk past but then grabbed her from behind and indecently assaulted her.

Due to the speed of the attack and the time that elapsed before she contacted police, she was only able to provide a vague descrip- tion of her assailant. He was white, about 5ft 4in, had dark neck-length hair and wore a dark jacket. His victim was slim, had short, brown hair with blonde streaks, and wore a purple trouser suit beneath a black jacket.
