Police revisited the scene of a serious sexual assault in Tunbridge Wells on Sunday evening in a bid to track down the attacker.

At 6pm last Sunday, November 8, a woman in her twenties was sexually assaulted as she walked in The Common, off Major York’s Road.

Exactly a week on, detectives from the major crime team returned to the area with uniformed officers to speak to residents.

A baseball cap found close to where the attack happened is believed to belong to the suspect and police have released a pictures of it, hoping members of the public might recognise it and come forward with any relevant information.

The suspect is described as a white man, in his 30s, about 6ft tall who was wearing a navy blue top and dark coloured trousers. It is likely he will have scratches on his face.

District Chief Inspector Dave Pate said: "Lots of people have regular routines that would take them through the same parts of town at the same times each week; dog walkers, people on their way to or from work, or people who exercise in the area for example.

No arrests were made as a result of Sunday’s visit and the investigation is continuing.

Anyone with information is asked to contact officers from the Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate on 01622 654853. Alternatively, contact Kent Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
