Police are investigating a sexual assault in Craigavon after a woman was pushed against a wall by a hooded man and touched inappropriately.
The incident is reported to have taken place yesterday (Tuesday, July 30) at 10.20pm in the Aldervale area, along a towpath off the Tullygally Road.
The woman, who is in her 40s, was approached by a man who pulled her hair and pushed her against a wall.
Whilst holding something to her neck, the assailant touched her inappropriately to the upper part of her body.
The victim was able to flee the scene after she kicked the suspect.
It is believed the man is in his late teens, and around 6ft tall.
He was of “very slim” build and was wearing white trainers, a dark jacket and light-coloured jeans. His hood was up and his mouth was covered.
It’s understood two other men were in the area at the time of the report.
Police Inspector Ruston said: “This sexual offence has had a devastating impact on the victim who has been left extremely distressed and shaken by what happened.
“We are appealing to anyone who may have been in the Tullygally Road area shortly before 10.15pm and witnessed what happened, to make contact with police on 101, quoting reference number 1894 30/07/24.”
