Police in Guildford have released an e-fit of a man they would like to speak to in connection with a serious sexual assault off Woodbridge Road.

The incident happened at around 10.30pm on Monday June 29 in the alleyway which runs behind the Sea Cadets building and Guildford Cricket Club between Woodbridge Road and Woodbridge Meadows. One entrance is next to the Woodbridge Cafe.

The alley that runs from Woodbridge Road to Woodbridge meadow behind the Sea Cadets building, on the left.

The victim, a woman in her early 20s, was approached from behind and sexually assaulted by a man who has been described as possibly Middle Eastern appearance, of slight build, in his late 20s and around 5ft 6 tall.

He had black hair with tight curls and was wearing long trousers and a stripy or checked top and was wearing “Beat” headphones. Unusually he was also wearing very long white trainers which appeared to be too big for someone of his size.

Officers are linking this assault with another incident which happened on Sunday May 3 at the Guildford railway station underpass where a man approached a woman and touched her clothing.

The alley entrance from the footbridge that crosses the River Wey by the Seven Arches railway bridge off Walnut Tree Close.

Investigating Officer DC Nick Ring said: “We are hoping that the man will come forward or someone will be able to identify him so we can further our investigation.

“If you have any information about these incidents please call Surrey Police on 101 quoting reference number 45150055922 or report it online at https://my.surrey.police.uk/splonlinereportingweb”

Alternatively reports can be made anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

An 18-year-old man from Godalming has been arrested on suspicion of a sexual offence and is currently on bail until 20 August 2015.
