Between 12.45am and 1.05am on Monday, 16 May, a 25-year-old woman was sat on a concrete bridge in Goodyear Meadow listening to music when an unknown man approached her from behind.
The man then pulled her back from the bridge and sexually assaulted her before she managed to run away.
The man is described as:
Detective Constable Jonathan Duggan from Basingstoke CID said “Whilst we are treating this as an isolated incident, we would like to reassure the local community that we are carrying out a thorough investigation and all lines of enquiry are being followed.
“We are really keen to hear from anyone with information that may assist us in identifying the man responsible.
“Were you in the area at the time? Perhaps you saw a man matching the description given or saw or heard something suspicious?
“Were you driving in the area at the time? Do you have any dash-cam footage?
“If you have any information that could help our investigation, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem, it is vital you get in touch.”
Anyone with information is asked to call 101 quoting reference 44220192334.
