Appeal for footage after jogger attacked on footpath

Officers investigating an assault on a woman who was jogging along a footpath in Derby have appealed for video footage taken in the area.

Derbyshire Police said she was assaulted by a man as she ran along the Great Northern Greenway in Breadsall Hilltop, near to The Paddock pub, shortly before 07:00 BST on Saturday.

The offender was reported to have grabbed the woman, pushed her to the ground and shouted at her before walking away along a separate path towards Hungerhill Close.

Police said the man, who was wearing a bright blue puffer jacket and blue jeans, was described as white, aged in his late 30s, about 5ft 10in and of a medium build.

He also had short, brown/blond hair, police added.

After an initial appeal for information, the force has now asked for anyone who witnessed the assault or who has dashcam, doorbell or CCTV footage taken in the area at the time to come forward.
