Renewed appeal after sexual assault
There is 1 related update to this story
We’re renewing our appeal for witnesses, footage and other information after a woman was sexually assaulted in Yeovil.
It happened at about 9.30pm on Sunday 13 April in Milford Dip, off Milford Road.
A man dragged the woman off the path and sexually assaulted her. She was able to break free and run to a nearby house for help.
The householders called 999 just before 9.50pm and officers attended by 10.10pm.
A man was arrested that evening after being found in the area. He was later released on conditional bail after the woman was able to share a fuller description with officers.
She described the attacker as in his forties, very tall, about 6ft 2, well-built and heavy. He was white, with short dark hair, stubble and a tattoo on his left arm. He wore a grey polo top and blue jeans and smelt of alcohol and cigarettes.
The woman also said she had noticed someone sitting in a “small green car” on Melrose Road, who may have seen part of the incident.
Officers have carried out numerous enquiries and issued a witness appeal the day after the attack.
