Officers investigating a sexual assault in Nottingham are asking for a key witness to come forward.
Police were called to Colwick Road, Sneinton, on 19 October 2026 after a woman reported being sexually assaulted by a man.
He fled after the victim screamed, before returning and attempting to apologise to her.
Following investigations, a 20-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and bailed with strict conditions.
Officers now want to speak to a woman who intervened during the incident by shouting to the victim from across the street around 10.20am.
Police Constable Ethan Spinks, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:
“We want to speak to the woman as she could have important information about what happened.
“I’d urge her to get in touch without delay. The victim suffered a frightening ordeal and has been left very shaken.
“It is important we investigate the incident thoroughly by taking this key witness’ account.”
Anyone who can assist should call 101, quoting incident 178 of 19 October 2026.
