A THUG pulled a woman's hair from behind, punched her in the face then ran away through bushes.
Police are appealing for witnesses after the attack on a Haywards Heath footpath on Saturday.
At about 12.50pm, the woman in her early twenties was walking along a footpath leading from Chapman Way, close to the St. Francis Social Club, to Colwell Road.
She was approached from behind by someone who pulled her hair and then punched her in the face.
The suspect then ran away through the bushes.
PC Sam Chapman said: "We have had no reports recently of similar incidents or anything else that could be linked to this.
"We would like to hear from anyone who saw what happened or who saw anything else suspicious in that area on Saturday morning.
"You can contact us either online or by calling 101, quoting serial 654 of 19/06."
