Immediately before the incident, the victim was in the alleyway that runs from Hob Moor Drive, onto Hob Moor itself, with the suspect.

She was upset, and was pushed against a garden fence. During this altercation, a man, possibly a runner, stopped and spoke to the victim to ask if she was OK.

Officers are appealing for this man to come forward, as he may have information which could assist the investigation. They also want to hear from any other witnesses.

Anyone with information is asked to contact North Yorkshire Police.
