THAMES Valley Police is appealing for witnesses following an incident of sexual assault in Reading.

At around 1am on Saturday, October 8, a woman in her late teens was grabbed from behind by a man while walking along London Road.

The offender touched her chest over her clothing, when the victim shouted for help and caught the attention of nearby members of the public.

The offender is described as a mixed-race man, between 5ft 8ins and 5ft 10ins tall, of slim build, aged in his thirties to early fourties.

He had black, curly hair, with light, brown eyes, and a short, dark beard which was pointed at the bottom.

He was wearing dark clothing, including a slim, puffa-style jacket.
