A 79-year-old woman has been left too “scared” to leave her home after she was sexually assaulted in a city street.
The elderly victim was approached by a man in Upper Tichborne Street, Highfields, Leicester, before he tried to grab her.
After the victim told the man that she was going to call the police he ran off into the nearby Warrington Court flats.
The incident happened between 2.30pm and 3pm on Monday, June 29.
The man is described as Asian, about 50, of a medium build, clean shaven and had short, red hair that was combed back.
Pc Sophie MacMahon, the officer investigating the incident, said: “This incident has left the victim feeling upset and scared to leave her house and we are hoping that by releasing this appeal someone will come forward with vital information.”
She appealed for anyone who had seen the suspect in the area before or after the assault or anyone who may have been a victim themselves to come forward.
People are asked to contact PC MacMahon on 0116 222 2222.
Alternatively call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

It’s very rare. I lived, worked in Asia and men, women (especially women) are very decent, law-abiding, respectful, friendly people. Something poisonous in the air by the judaized Western life… Another reason why we must get rid of the judaistic systems.
lol, asian men have a thing for older white women
