Officers are looking for a “fairly short” man after a woman was allegedly assaulted late at night.

The victim was walking from the Broadway in Maidstone along the River Medway to Millennium Bridge, near Whatman Park, when she was approached by a man.

He is alleged to have attacked the woman at around 10pm on April 8 before running away in the direction of the park.

Police attended and the victim did not require medical attention.

Detectives are now appealing for residents and businesses in the surrounding areas to review any footage from CCTV or doorbell cameras, which may show the suspect’s movements between 8pm and 10.30pm.

The force is looking for a short, white man, who is around 5ft 3in.

He was wearing a dark black or blue tracksuit and had a hood covering his head.

Officers are also keen to speak to a young couple who the victim is reported to have stopped and approached for assistance, shortly after the incident.

Anyone with information is urged to call police on 01622 604100, quoting reference 46/63622/23.
