Renewed Appeal After Sexual Assault In Hastings Town Centre

Police investigating a report of a sexual assault in Hastings have issued a renewed appeal for information.

The incident happened in Queen’s Road in the town centre at about 2.15pm on 12 February, near the Priory Meadow bus stops.

A new CCTV image of a man officers wish to speak to has been released as part of our enquiries.

A man previously shown in an appeal issued on March 2 has been ruled out of our investigation and faces no further police action.

A local woman, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, reported being approached from behind by a man unknown to her.

The man then sexually assaulted her by touching.

The victim was left shaken by the incident and has received support from specially-trained officers.

Officers investigating have released a CCTV image of a man they wish to speak with in connection with the investigation.

He is described as a man in his late 30s or 40s with a grey beard. He was seen wearing a purple baseball hat, backwards, with the word 'BOY' written in capitals in white writing.

He wore a long black overcoat worn over a black jacket, and a light-coloured fleece, black trousers or tracksuit bottoms, and white trainers with a gold and blue trim. He was also carrying a grey rucksack.
