A WOMAN was assaulted in an unprovoked attack in Hereford.

The 24-year-old victim was walking down an alleyway between The Pastures and a field in Lower Bullingham at 10.15pm on Saturday April 11.

A man emerged from behind a hedge and allegedly punched her in the face.

She pushed him away, but he apparently punched her again in the eye, before pulling her to the ground.

She managed to kick the offender and make her way home.

The suspect is described as white, in his early 30’s, 5ft 10ins tall and large build, with a stubbly face.

He was wearing a dark coloured bomber-style jacket, dark jeans and a black or navy cap.

Anyone with any information can call Sgt Paul O’Reilly at Hereford Police Station on 0300 333 3000.
