The incident happened in an alleyway between Wolsey Road and Maynard Road at 2pm on Saturday, December 15.

A 50-year-old woman was walking in the direction of the hospital when she was approached by a man who 
attempted to engage her in conversation.

She carried on walking but the offender then touched the victim inappropriately.

the hospital and the offender followed, but left when the victim began speaking 
to someone.
