Police appeal after sex assault in Dinnington

The force said a woman was attacked in a property on Laughton Road in Dinnington at 1.30am on September 13.

The suspect is said to have returned 90 minutes later and banged on the door, asking to be let inside.

A South Yorkshire Police spokesman said: “It is understood the man then fled after the woman called the police.

“Enquiries are ongoing but officers are keen to identify the man in the image as they believe he may be able to assist with their investigation.

“The man is described as an Asian male in his early 20s and of a skinny build. It is thought he is about 5ft 5ins tall with short black hair and a black beard.
