Police have appealed for witnesses after a 19-year-old Eastbourne woman was indecently assaulted in the street.

The victim was attacked as she walked along The Avenue, Eastbourne, early on Saturday.

A man approached her from behind, grabbed her chest and exposed himself to her at about 12.50am.

He then ran up a slip road behind garages off Upperton Gardens which leads onto Enys Road.

He was white, aged 22-30, 5ft 6in tall, stocky and wore dark clothes.

Police called in dog units to search for him. A spokesman said: "Several people were questioned but no one matching the description was found."

Officers want to speak to anyone who saw or heard anything suspicious during the early hours of Saturday.
