Police are looking for a topless man who sexually attacked a woman in the woods.

When the victim was walking near Alexandra Hospital in Cheadle, Greater Manchester, she became aware of a guy following her.

A few minutes later, he sprinted passed the woman. Her t-shirt was pulled as well as her bottom and hair were seized.

At 6.40 p.m. on Saturday, police released a photo of the topless suspect in the woods between Brood Road and Mill Lane.

He was dressed in dark shorts and black sneakers with a white sole.

Anyone who recognizes him is encouraged to contact the authorities.

Detective Sergeant Matthew Tarr said: ‘This was a scary assault on a lone female who was simply going for a walk and is now extremely shaken up.

‘We’re appealing for anyone who may have seen or recognise the male pictured to come forward as it may be able to assist with our on-going investigation.’
