Man in gloves and balaclava sexually assaults woman in New Addington

A SEX attacker who wore gloves and a balaclava when he assaulted a woman in New Addington on New Year's Eve is being hunted by police.

The attack took place in Brierley at about 4.30pm and came five days before an incident in Caterham in which a woman was assaulted in an alleyway.

The attack occurred at about 12.45am on Saturday between Whyteleafe Road and Burntwood Lane, Caterham. The victim, a woman in her 20s, was approached by an unknown man who pulled her clothing, causing her to fall to the floor.

She managed to get up and run away to a place of safety, where the incident was reported to the police.
