LONDON:<\/strong> UK police have launched a public appeal to identify a white suspect following a report that a 20-year-old woman was sexually assaulted in northern England due to her race. The woman is believed to be of Indian origin.<\/p>\n According to West Midlands Police, officers were called to a street in the Park Hall area of Walsall on Saturday evening after reports of a woman in distress. The police have released CCTV footage of a suspect and stated that the offence is being treated as a “racially aggravated assault.”<\/p>\n A “Truly Horrific” Attack<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Detective Superintendent Ronan Tyrer, who is leading the investigation, said, “This was a truly horrific attack on a young woman. We are doing everything we can to identify the offender. Our team is gathering evidence and working to identify the suspect so he can be brought into custody.”<\/p>\n He appealed to the public for information, urging anyone who saw a suspicious person in the area or who has any CCTV footage to come forward.<\/p>\n Suspect Description and Community Impact<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Police described the attacker as a white male, approximately 30 years old, with short hair, who was wearing all-black clothing at the time of the assault.<\/p>\n Local community groups have stated that the victim is a woman of Punjabi origin.
