Police have released an e-fit image in connection with a sexual assault in Milton Keynes.

The incident happened at around 4.25pm on 29 January on redway in the Stantonbury area of the city.

During the incident, a girl in her teens was walking along the redway when she was approached by a man who tried to talk to her.

He then followed her and made a lewd comment to her before grabbing her around the shoulders. The victim screamed and the offender made off.

Thames Valley Police have released an image of an e-fit of an offender in the incident.

The offender, as depicted in the e-fit, is described as being as a white male, around 20-years-old, 5ft 6-7ins tall and of chubby build. He has a round, chubby face and small thin lips. He was wearing a black hooded, zip-up top and black jogging bottoms.

Investigating officer PC Amy Herridge said, “We are appealing for anyone who recognises the man in the e-fit to come forward.

“Additionally if anyone has any further information and witnessed this incident we would also ask them to get in touch.

“If you have information please call 101 quoting reference 43250048816 or you can provide information on online reporting pages.”

Luton Town picked up a big result in the Championship survival race as they came from behind to win 2-1 at Cardiff City.

Cardiff had taken the lead through Calum Chambers just after half-time, but Jordan Clark equalised less than ten minutes later before Thelo Aasgaard’s goal in the final ten minutes won the day for the Hatters.

The result was Matt Bloomfield’s first away win as Luton manager, and the Hatters’ first victory on their travels since winning at Millwall back in mid-September.

The Bedfordshire club remain in the relegation zone despite the win, but they are now just two points behind Cardiff and being out of the bottom three as a consequence of their win in Wales.

After a gruelling defeat at promotion chasing Burnley at the weekend, Luton’s trip to Cardiff City represented a big clash with the duo being two of the division’s bottom four at kick-off.

Neither side entered in sparkling form, with hosts Cardiff on a run of one win in seven games and Luton on a run of just one win in 14 outings.

A tight first half saw opportunities at a premium, with only one shot on target in the half. That one was nearly an opener, however, with former Luton keeper Ethan Horvath making a decent save to deny Liam Walsh’s strike after the ball fell to the midfielder on the edge of the box.

Cardiff would however score first, with the Bluebirds scoring in the 50th minute. Alex Robertson’s free-kick was only partially cleared and the ball fell for Chambers, whose half volley wound up in the back of the net to give the hosts the lead.

Carlton Morris was denied by Horvath just after the Cardiff opener, but the away side persisted and found an equaliser seven minutes after falling behind.

Clark picked up a clearance a few yards outside the Cardiff penalty area and the midfielder was able to make space to volley a crisp strike that flew into the back of the net and bring Luton level.

The game duly opened up, with both sides needing a win and creating more opportunities. Cardiff sub Sivert Mannsverk fired off target when well placed, before Luton sub Millenic Alli hit the side-netting.

Cardiff then had two opportunities to move in front when first Thomas Kaminski made a good stop to thwart Perry Ng and then goalscorer Chambers hit a firm strike that beat the Luton keeper only to hit the crossbar.

Less than a minute after Chambers hit the bar, the game was turned in Luton’s favour as they took the lead in the 80th minute.

A low cross-shot by Luton sub Josh Bowler, who had been at Cardiff last season, was blocked by Dimitrios Goutas, but the Cardiff defender’s intervention inadvertently teed up Aasgaard, and the Norwegian took the chance to score his first Luton goal and put the Hatters in front.

The Hatters were then able to keep Cardiff at bay for the remaining ten minutes and a further five of stoppage time to take a priceless three points.

Luton will be looking to continue momentum as they host Middlesbrough at the weekend in their last game before the upcoming international break.

Police are appealing for witnesses following a public order incident in Milton Keynes.

The incident happened at approximately 5.10pm on Thursday (6/3) on V7 Saxon Street, Ashland.

During the incident, the victim, who was a woman in her thirties, pulled into a bus stop on the V7 following an exchange with a vehicle driving in front of her in which she thought they collided.

Upon stopping, a man, believed to be in his forties, began shouting and threatening the woman and filming using his mobile phone.

Thames Valley Police described the offender in their appeal as a South Asian male, around 6ft tall with a slim build. He was wearing a beanie hat and dark clothing.

Investigator Bethany Willis said, “We are appealing to anyone who witnessed the incident or the moments leading up to it to please get in contact.

“I am especially interested to hear from people who were driving past and may have dash cam footage of this altercation.

“If you have dash-cam footage or any information that could assist the investigation, please contact us.

“You can call 101 or make an online report, quoting 43250111024.”
