Det Con Nick Steenbergen, of South Ribble CID, said: “This must have been an extremely distressing incident for the victim and it is fortunate she was not more seriously hurt.

“This incident happened in broad daylight in a popular area for dog walkers and other recreational users and I would appeal to anyone who saw what happened or who recognises the description of the attacker to come forward.”

There are extra, high visibility patrols in the areas as reassurance.

Anyone with information should contact police on 101 quoting log 1067 of July 3rd or independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. For immediate sightings call 999.
