The lone female victim was approached by a male and subjected to a serious sexual assault on Woolley Edge Lane, Woolley, near Wakefield, between 22:00 and 22:50 on 24 December, according to West Yorkshire Police.

The woman suffered minor injuries and was left very distressed by the incident, police said.

Officers believe a man driving along Woolley Edge Lane with two children in the car may have seen the victim trying to flag him down.

Det Insp Kristy Wright said: "I must stress we're seeking to speak with him as a witness. Due to his presence in the area at the time, it's possible he may have information which could assist us."

The man suspected of assaulting the woman is described as white, between 5ft 10ins and 6ft 4ins tall, around 35 years old, of stocky build, with short hair and a Yorkshire accent.

Anyone with any information about the incident or the suspect is being asked to contact police.
