Sex attack on teenager at bus stop

AN 18-year-old woman was sexually assaulted after being dragged into a Leeds bus stop.

The teenager was walking along Woodhouse Lane towards the city centre at around 10.20pm last Wednesday when she was approached by a "skinny" man in his twenties walking in the opposite direction near the Eldon pub.

The man turned and followed the woman towards the city centre. A police spokesman said the man then made sexually suggestive comments towards her, before dragging her into the bus stop at the junction of Blenheim Walk and Woodhouse Lane where she was sexually assaulted.

The woman broke free before running into the middle of Woodhouse Lane and then into a nearby pub, where she raised the alarm and police were called.

The attacker is described as white, 25 to 30, 5ft 4in and skinny, with mousy brown short cropped hair and dirty brown teeth. He was carrying a clear plastic bag and eating a banana.

Officers are keen to trace anyone who can help to identify the man or who may have witnessed the incident, particularly any passing motorists who may have seen the woman run into the road.
