Detectives investigating the rape of a woman in Bridgwater have released an E-fit of a man they’d like to identify.
A woman was attacked by a man in Bridgwater town centre sometime between 4.45am and 5.20am on Tuesday, 1 January.
The incident happened close to the Malt Shovel pub on Wembdon Road. The victim has been offered support and given access to any help she may need.
A spokesperson commented; “We’ve previously issued moving CCTV footage and a still of the man depicted in the E-fit but are yet to identify him. The man was seen in the area around the time of the assault.”
“He’s described as being aged in his late 30s or early 40s, with a bald or shaved head. He wore jeans and a large white hooded jacket.”
Detectives are also keen to hear from anyone who was in the area at the time, especially if they were driving and may have dashcam footage.
