A woman bravely fought off a sex attacker who grabbed her in a country lane and tried to remove her shorts.

Police want witnesses to come forward after the alleged sex assault in Manor Lane, Fawkham, between 4pm and 8pm on Thursday, August 11.

The appeal comes after the woman in her thirties was attacked while walking along a footpath.

The man is described as white, over 6ft tall, tanned with a round face and short, dark cropped hair. He was wearing dark coloured matching trousers and a t-shirt, which resembled a boiler suit.

He was walking a dog, described as a brown terrier type with white colouring on its face.
