Police investigating the serious sexual assault of a woman in Bath in August have released a CCTV image of a potential witness they are keen to trace.

Police are keen to trace this woman as she may be an essential witness

The incident happened in Bath between 1.30am and 4.15am on Sunday 9th August.

CCTV shows the victim and a man in Bridge Street at about 3.38am.

The woman pictured is also seen in the street at around that time. She appears to be a slim white woman with long blonde hair.

The victim is being offered access to support.

A man arrested in connection with the incident remains released under investigation while enquiries continue.

If you recognise yourself in the image, know the woman or have any other information which could help the investigation, call 101 quoting reference 5220178672.

Alternatively, ring the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. They never tell the police who you are, just what you know.

If you’ve been a victim of sexual abuse, recent or non-recent, you don’t have to speak to the police.

You can self-refer to The Bridge, a Sexual Assault Referral Centre available 24/7 365 days a year.

Visit their website at thebridgecanhelp.org.uk or call 0117 342 6999.
