A woman has been sexually assaulted in a pub car park in Kidlington.

The attack happened at about 2am today in the car park of the Black Bull pub in Banbury Road.

The victim, in her 20s, had taken a bus from Oxford to Kidlington and got off near the pub.

Her attacker, who police said she did not know, was also a passenger of the bus and got off at the same time.

The man, described as white and in his early 20s, had helped the victim with her bags as she alighted.

Investigating officer, Det Sgt Chris Whitwell said: “Reports such as these are rare in Kidlington and this report is being taken extremely seriously and fully investigated.

“We currently have several lines of enquiry and are appealing for any witnesses who may have been in the area and seen anything they believe is relevant to the investigation to contact Force CID at Banbury by calling 101."
