The man in the CCTV images is wearing a Gio Goi black and yellow hooded top with green or yellow writing across the front. The bike is a white and red men’s mountain bike.
Detective Sergeant Mark Sinski said: “We would urge him or anyone who recognises him to get in touch with police.

“Why oh why was she walking alone at that time of the morning? I know she should be able to do so safely but the fact of the matter is she can't.”

“Getting a bit annoyed here.
The Police in Leicester came up with a silly statement recently that they have a"zero tolerance"approach to offences.
Just how do you equate that statement with letting people(sic) out on bail for offences like this,maybe to do it again.”
