Police hunting two sex attack suspects released these e-fits today of two men they want to speak to.

It follows a reported sexual assault on a 19-year-old man near a railway bridge in Maidstone last Tuesday.

The incident is believed to have happened in Unicumes Lane between 2.30pm and 3.30pm.

The victim was approached by two unknown men and was subjected to a degrading ordeal.

Officers are also looking to contact two key witnesses.

The first is a lady in her 30s, of slim build, with long black hair, wearing a grey overcoat and green wellies who was walking her black dog with a red lead towards Maidstone.

She was on the Fant side of the Medway towpath and is thought have greeted the victim, who was pushing a bike in the opposite direction, before the attack took place.

The second witness is a man in his 60s who was carrying a Sainsbury’s bag and offered to help the distressed victim as he fell over on the Millennium Bridge after the assault took place.

Det Insp Lee Whitehead, of Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate, is leading investigation.

He said: "We are taking the step of releasing these computer generated images of men we wish to question following this reported sexual assault.

"I would ask the public to study the images and contact us if they recognise either of the men.

"Alternatively, the men may wish to get in touch to rule themselves out of our enquiries.

"This incident happened in broad day light on a lane which is regularly used by dog walkers and people using the bridge to cross the River Medway.

"We are particularly keen to speak to the two key witnesses seen by the victim before and after the assault, as they may hold information important to this investigation."

The suspects are both described as white, aged in their 40s, around 6ft tall and spoke with foreign accents.

One was wearing blue jeans, a blue shirt under a plain white long sleeved jumper, black sandals, short hair, stubbly full beard and of slight to medium build.

The other man had short black hair, dressed all in black and was of stocky build.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate on 01622 654 867 or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
