Appeal for witnesses to assault in Derby street

We are appealing for the public’s help after reports of a woman being assaulted in a Derby street.

The incident took place on the morning of Friday 22 March in the Booth Street area of Alvaston.

The victim, a woman in her mid-30s, reported speaking to a number of people while in a distressed state.

Officers are also keen to hear from anyone who was in the area and saw a red Vauxhall Astra on the same morning.
