Nottinghamshire Police are urgently appealing for witnesses following a sexual assault on a woman during a morning walk in Radford on 23 May 2026.

The incident took place near St. Peter’s Church on Churchfield Lane at approximately 8am, prompting a swift police investigation.

The victim was walking along Churchfield Lane when she noticed someone approaching her from Knighton Avenue. In an attempt to evade the individual, she crossed the road but was followed and grabbed from behind close to the junction with Hartley Road.

The woman screamed, which caused the suspect to flee back along Churchfield Lane towards Alfreton Road.

Police have been carrying out extensive inquiries, including reviewing CCTV footage and conducting door-to-door interviews in the Radford area to identify the offender.

An image of a teenage boy has now been released by the police. He is described as a Black male teenager wearing a black hoodie, black trainers, and distinctive black jogging bottoms with yellow stripes.

Authorities believe this individual may have key information related to the offence and are keen to speak with him.

Anyone with information or who recognises the person in the released image is urged to contact Nottinghamshire Police on 101, quoting incident number 238 of 23 May 2026.

Your assistance is vital in bringing the offender to justice and ensuring the safety of the Radford community.
