POLICE are appealing for information after a woman was assaulted in the city centre.
The 18-year-old victim was walking near the Strathdon Hotel in Derby Road at about 2.30am on Sunday when a man approached her and started to talk to her.
He then tried to kiss her and forced himself upon her, before pushing her to the floor.
She managed to escape and flag down a taxi, leaving her handbag at the scene.
She was left with minor injuries and was shaken by the ordeal. Her bag, a coral coloured clutch containing bank cards and cash, her driving licence, and make-up, has yet to be recovered.
The suspect is Middle-Eastern in appearance, of average build and around 5ft 4ins tall.
He had short, dark hair, which was spiked in the middle in a Mohican style, and was wearing a white t-shirt and blazer style jacket, with dark jeans and dark footwear.
Police are especially keen to speak to the taxi driver who picked up the woman and anyone who has found her handbag.
Anyone who saw the attack, knows the offender, or has any information should contact Notts Police on 101, quoting incident 155 of April 28. Alternatively call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
