Crewe police are appealing for witnesses after a woman was attacked by a man in Badger Avenue.

At around 3pm on 15 January 2016 a 29-year-old woman was walking along Badger Avenue, Crewe towards the junction of Ford lane.

As she walked past a telephone kiosk at the junction of Ford Lane she was grabbed by a man who was inside the telephone kiosk and an attempt was made to drag her back towards the kiosk. The victim managed to get away and alerted police.

The offender had in his possession a knife at the time and the victim received a minor injury.

Officers investigating the motive for the attack believe it may have been the intention to commit a sexual assault.

The offender is described as white with dark brown eyes and of medium build and average height. He was wearing a black woolly hat, a scarf which covered his face, dark trousers and black gloves. The victim described him as having a foreign accent. 

Anyone with information should contact Cheshire Police on 101 quoting incident number 546 of 15 January 2016. Alternatively, information can be given anonymously by contacting Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
