A woman has been assaulted while walking along a street in Peterborough.
Cambridgeshire Police say the 26 year old woman was walking in West Town, and was approached by a youth.
The youth asked her twice for a cigarette, then sexually assaulted her in Nicholls Avenue.
Another woman then approached on foot, and the attacker walked away.
The victim called a relative who contacted police.
The youth is described as Asian, 15 to 20, slim, about 5'7", with bushy eyebrows and was wearing a dark clothing and possibly a skull cap.

Anyone with information should not hesitate to get in touch."
