SURREY Police has issued a CCTV image of a man it would like to speak to in connection with an alleged sexual assault in Haslemere.

A woman was walking home along Chestnut Avenue from Haslemere railway station between 5.20pm and 5.30pm on April 7 when a man approached her and touched her "inappropriately" before running off in the direction of Bridge Road. He is described as white, aged 16 to 20, between 5ft 6ins and 5ft 8ins tall, of slight build, with mousey brown hair.

He was wearing a distinctive dark blue and light blue lightweight tracksuit jacket, dark trousers and trainers.

Officers are investigating whether the incident is linked to two similar reports in Haslemere last September.
