Girl escapes Bristol sex attack

A girl escaped a sex attack in Bristol after two members of the public came to her rescue.

It happened at about 1am on Saturday night in Hillsborough Road, near the Sainsbury's store.

Detectives said the victim, a 16-year-old, was on the phone when she was approached by her attacker.

After he ran off he was seen running towards Sainsbury's car park. Police described him as a white man in his 20's, 6ft in height. They believe he may be local to the area.
