This is the face of a sex attacker who preyed on a woman as she walked to work.

Police have released an e-fit of a man who abused the 25-year-old, of Runcorn, on a footpath near to Trident Retail Park, Hallwood Park, at 4.50pm on May 5.

The man, who is believed to have been drunk, blocked the woman's path before sexually assulating her.

However, the man left after being disturbed by a group of youths.

The attacker was white and aged in his mid-late 20s. He wore a yellow T-shirt, tan coloured Timberland boots and blue jeans.

Anyone with information should contact PC Thomas Hall on 01244 613953 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.
