Police are investigating an attack on a 33-year-old woman in Arthur Road, Bexhill, in the early hours of Sunday 16 September.
The woman had been walking home from Bexhill town centre when she was approached at about 2.20am by a man who sexually assaulted her before running off with her handbag which contained a small amount of cash and personal items. The woman knocked on the door of a nearby home to raise the alarm.
The man is described as white, about 6′, with dark short spikey hair, and was wearing a cream or beige hoody and blue jeans.
“We would like to hear from anyone who may have seen the woman as she was walking or who saw a man in the area acting suspiciously or running away from the scene.
