Police are hunting a thug who grabbed a woman from behind and tried to drag her along a path during a 'frightening' attack.
The man took hold of his victim's arm and tried to pull her along Fishwives Causeway in Edinburgh yesterday.
The incident happened at around 11.30pm before a passing cyclist intervened and the suspect ran off.
Now the 30-year-old victim has been left traumatised by the experience.
The suspect is described as white, in his 20’s, around 5ft 8, blue or grey eyes and crooked teeth. He was wearing a dark jacket with the hood up and dark trousers.
Detective Constable Neil Donaldson at Fettes Police Office in Edinburgh said: "This would have been a frightening and traumatic experience for the victim.
“Whilst this appears to be a rare and isolated incident we would like to speak to anyone who was in the vicinity of Fishwives Causeway around 11.30 pm on Thursday, 11 November 2021 and who may have seen a man fitting the above description".
Anyone with information should contact police via telephone number 101 quoting incident number 3903 of 11 November 2021. Alternatively calls can be made via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where anonymity can be maintained.
