A young woman was the victim of a serious sexual assault in York.

The incident happened in the early hours of Monday (May 29).

On Thursday (June 1) York detectives issued a CCTV image of a man they needed to urgently trace in connection with the investigation. It was taken from the Kuda Nightclub on Clifford Street at around 2.45am.

That same afternoon police revealed they had arrested a man aged in his late 20s in connection with the investigation.

He was identified and located as a direct result of the media appeal using the CCTV image.

‘Grateful for the public’s help’

A police spokesman said: “We are grateful to the media and the public for supporting the appeal.”
