A young woman has been sexually assaulted while walking home in Witney.
The 26-year-old woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was hit on the head and then sexually assaulted in an alleyway which runs alongside the Poundstretcher shop at The Leys between 2am and 2.20am today.
After attacking her, the offender ran off in the direction of McDonald's restaurant.
Det Sgt Richard White, from Witney CID, said: "The victim was left very shaken and distressed by this incident.
"Although it happened in the early hours of the morning, I am confident that there are people in the area who may have witnessed something that could help us progress our inquiry."
The only description of the woman's assailant is that he was in his late teens.
Anyone with any information relating to the incident is asked to call Det Sgt White on 08458 505505 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
