Police are searching for a man who sexually assaulted a woman on her way to work as she walked through an underpass.

The attack took place at about 09:30 BST on Monday between Church Road and The Ring in Bracknell.

Thames Valley Police said the woman in her 30s managed to get away from the offender, who had approached her from behind.

He was last seen running along the footpath adjacent to Church Road, away from the town centre towards Mount Lane.

He is described as a white man, about 6ft, with bushy eyebrows. He was wearing a black tracksuit, black gloves, and a blue surgical mask.

Det Ch Insp Tracey Smyth said: "I would like to reassure the local community that we are investigating this incident as a priority and there has been and will continue to be a presence of officers in the area while this investigation continues."

She appealed for anybody with dashcam footage who may have driven by, or those with doorbell footage, to come forward.
