A 79-year-old woman has been left too "scared" to leave her home after she was sexually assaulted in a city street.
The elderly victim was approached by a man in Upper Tichborne Street, Highfields, Leicester, before he tried to grab her.
After the victim told the man that she was going to call the police he ran off into the nearby Warrington Court flats.
The incident happened between 2.30pm and 3pm on Monday, June 29.
The man is described as Asian, about 50, of a medium build, clean shaven and had short, red hair that was combed back.
Pc Sophie MacMahon, the officer investigating the incident, said: "This incident has left the victim feeling upset and scared to leave her house and we are hoping that by releasing this appeal someone will come forward with vital information."
She appealed for anyone who had seen the suspect in the area before or after the assault or anyone who may have been a victim themselves to come forward.
People are asked to contact PC MacMahon on 0116 222 2222.
Alternatively call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
First I want to note the irritating, obfuscating and bordering on pathological use of the term "Asian" - by British newspapers in lieu of the more accurate muslim.
Honest journalism has succumbed to dhimmitude and political correctness. I wondered - Do muslims refer to themselves as "Asian"? So I thought I'd check a few muslim online publications to see what people they consider to be "Asian":Al Arabya News Channel - Gulf Daily News - The Voice of Bahrain - Kuwait Arab Times -Crime - The Muslim News
In reviewing the above searches you will find that the vast majority - if not 100% - use the word 'Asian' in regards to China, Japan, Malaysia, etc. The same countries and people that we all think of when reading the word 'Asian'. So clearly muslims do not refer to themselves as 'Asian'.Isn't it time that British newspapers stop treating their readers like a bunch of dopes?
