Appeal for witnesses to Fareham assault

We are appealing for witnesses and information following an assault in Fareham.

Between 1.55pm and 2.15pm on Thursday 6 July, a woman in her 30s was walking along Yew Tree Drive when she was approached by an unknown man who made sexual comments to her. The woman continued walking on to Botley Road, when the man grabbed her from behind.

Two members of the public witnessed this and came to her aid, so the man ran from the scene.

The unknown man who grabbed the woman is described as:
- White
- Aged in his 40s
- About 5ft 6in tall
- Bald head
- Clean shaven
- Medium build
- Wearing a blue suit and chequered waistcoat

We would like to speak to the two people who intervened, a man and a woman, as potential witnesses to this incident.

If you were in the area at the time, or have any information such as dash cam or CCTV footage that could be relevant to our investigation, please contact us.

You can make a report online via our website, or call 101, quoting reference 44230271226.
