Bedfordshire Police have released an e-fit image following an assault in Kempston earlier this month.
At around 7.30pm on Tuesday, December 15, a woman was walking along Bedford Road, Kempston, when she was assaulted by a man near the bushes behind the bus stop, opposite the junction with Whitbread Avenue.
She sustained serious facial injuries as a result of the attack.
The man is described as wearing a light-coloured jacket, jeans, and trainers.
The woman was wearing a mustard coloured puffa style coat, with a fur trimmed hood.
Detective Chief Inspector Marie Gresswell said: “We are releasing this e-fit image in the hope that someone will recognise the man depicted and help us progress our investigation.
“We understand that this incident is very concerning for the local community and would like to reassure you we are taking it incredibly seriously and doing all we can to find the man responsible. “We are pursuing a number of lines of enquiry as well as supporting the victim.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact us on 101, quoting Operation Casper.
