Investigators are asking motorists to check dashcam footage after a woman was assaulted in Tunbridge Wells.

The incident is reported to have happened at 7.30 pm on Saturday 16 October 2021 in Major York’s Road, Tunbridge Wells.

The victim, a woman in her forties, was walking alone from Sainsbury's supermarket in the direction of the A264, Langton Road.

The victim went to a local hospital where she received medical attention before being discharged.

The suspect is described as being in his late teens and wearing a dark blue baseball cap and a tracksuit.

Detective Inspector Adam Marshall said:
‘Our officers are continuing to make enquiries and are examining CCTV footage around the location of the incident.
‘We are urging motorists with dashcams who were in the area at the time to check if they have footage that may assist the investigation.
