CCTV has been released by police after a woman was assaulted from behind by an unknown man.

Detectives are looking for a man who may be able to help them after the attack in Bow Road, Wateringbury.

The incident happened at about 10.40pm on Tuesday, March 28.

The woman was walking from Tonbridge Road towards Wateringbury train station, when it is reported a man she did not know approached her from behind and assaulted her, causing her to fall to the ground.

She defended herself and screamed, before running from the scene.

Investigators are now able to release footage of a man who they would like to speak to.

Detective inspector Steve Smith, of Maidstone CID, said: "It is thought the suspect may have been trying to take the victim’s bag during the assault.

"The footage we are now able to release is still blurred but may allow him to be recognised as an associate or family member.

"We would still like to hear from anybody who saw a man acting suspiciously in the area and continue to ask residents with private CCTV, doorbell cameras and drivers with dashcam to check for any relevant footage."
