A 30-year-old woman was sexually assaulted in Stapleton Road in Easton on Friday.

Police particularly want to talk to a man whose car was flagged down by the victim at around 6.30am near the railway bridge over the road.

He gave her a lift up Stapleton Road toward Fishponds, where she saw the man who attacked her. He disappeared on foot and she went to police to report the incident.

Police think the driver may have important information and want him to call DS Gary Haskins or DC Jenny Farman on 08454 567000.
