A TEENAGER was grabbed by a man and sexually assaulted as she was walking in Oxford last night.

The 17-year-old was walking along Sandy Lane West when she was attacked by the man near Spring Lane.

Police said they were called at about 7.50pm but have not yet got enough information to release a description of the attacker.

The victim will be interviewed later today by specially trained officers.

Anyone who was in the area or who has any information which may help police should contact Det Sgt John Linsdell at Oxford CID on 101.
