A WOMAN was subjected to a “horrific” sexual assault after her attacker took her into a property in Coventry.
The incident occurred at an address in Trentham Road in the early hours of Saturday October 24.
The offender, who is described as a white man who spoke very little English, was wearing black tracksuit bottoms and a stripy grey hooded top. He attacked the 28-year-old woman between midnight and 3am.
Police have launched an appeal for any witnesses to come forward.
Officers would particularly like to hear from a taxi driver who is believed to have picked up the offender from Harnell Lane East before dropping him at his address, near to where the crime took place.
Detective Constable Zoe Askew from CID at Little Park Street police station, said: “This was a horrific incident where the victim was subjected to serious sexual assault.
“We believe the male offender had been dropped off at his address in a new style black cab. It is also believed the driver of the taxi was Asian and may have witnessed the offender and victim together close to the address where the crime took place. The offender got into the taxi at Harnell Lane East.
“We would urge this driver to come forward as he may hold vital information to assist with the inquiry.”
Any witnesses or anyone with information is urged to call police on 0845 113 5000 or Crimestoppers in confidence on 0800 555 111.
