Police are appealing for witnesses or CCTV footage after a woman was sexually assaulted on Tritton Road in Lincoln.
The victim was assaulted by a man believed to be between 30 and 35 years old near to the Co-Op funeral home at around 10.20pm on Saturday, July 18.
The suspect has been described as white, 5ft 11, with a large build, short blonde hair, clean shaven, with light coloured eyes. He was wearing a grey t-shirt and light coloured shorts.
He is believed to have ran off in the direction of the City School down Skellinghtorpe Road after the incident, but the direction he came from is not known.
Police are now looking to speak to anyone who had dashcam footage from the Tritton Road and Skellingthorpe Road areas between 10pm and 10.45pm on July 18.
Anyone with CCTV footage or was in the area at that time is also being asked to come forward and assist officers with investigations.
The exact location of the offence was determined by the victim using the What3Words app, which police are encouraging everyone to download onto their phones.
Detective Inspector Vickie Ward said: “This was an incredibly distressing incident for the victim, and we are completing a thorough investigation to do all we can to identify the person responsible.
“Any information, no matter how small you think it might be, could lead to this offender being brought to justice.
”While sexual assaults of this nature remain low, I know that people living in the area might be concerned, and I want to reassure people that this is believed to be an isolated incident and that we are increasing patrols in the area.
“Please feel free to talk to our local Neighbourhood Policing Teams when you see them out.”

Doddington Hall Farm Shop near Lincoln will feature in a new Channel 5 series which celebrates the British love of a good farm shop.
Episode one of ‘Britain’s Poshest Farm Shop’ is due to air on Channel 5 at 8pm on Friday, August 12. Doddington Hall features throughout episode 1 alongside farm shops in North Wales and Devon.
The two-part series is narrated by Patricia Hodge and described as “a warm and touching look at why we all love a farm shop, the characters that inhabit them and the people behind the scenes that work so hard to create outstanding produce.”

Doddington Hall said its award-winning farm shop wasn’t built on being ‘posh, but was “born out of a passion to provide our customers with good quality, seasonal, local food.”
Doddington Hall said Production company Out of the Blue TV filmed “on a momentous day when the cows were being put out to pasture for the first time after the winter so they were gambolling in the sunshine.”

Since 2006, the Elizabethan Doddington Hall has been the much-loved family home of Claire and James Birch. Claire’s family have lived in the Hall for over 190 years, devoting themselves to the upkeep, repair and progression of the Doddington Estate.
After a 50 year absence, the formerly neglected two-acre walled Kitchen Garden was restored to its former glory in 2007, inspiring the opening of the Farm Shop followed by the Cafe. Just a stone’s throw from the Hall, it provides an abundance of fruit, vegetables, salads and herbs which take centre stage in the Farm Shop and on Doddington Hall’s menus.

This year, the Doddington Hall Conservation Charity secured National Lottery Heritage Funding to develop ‘Wilder Connections’, a project to connect people with nature at Wilder Doddington.
