Schoolgirl attacked in Milton Keynes

Police are appealing for the public's help after an 11 year old girl was allegedly sexually assaulted in Milton Keynes.

The schoolgirl was walking across a bridge over Childs Way towards Avebury Boulevard on Friday morning, near the Premier Inn Hotel when a man approached her and assaulted her.

The offender was white and aged around 30 with green or brown eyes. He was around 5ft 9ins and of a thin build with brown hair. At the time of the offence, he was wearing a dark blue hooded top with a dot of white paint on the back, dark blue jeans and brown safety boots with steel toecaps.

This was at a time of day when there would have been a lot of people around in the area, so we want to talk to anyone who saw a man matching this description.

“I would like to reassure the community that we will do all we can to find the offender and our officers are conducting patrols on the area, so if anyone has any concerns, please do speak to one of the officers.”

Woman robbed in front of children

Police are hunting for a man who robbed and attacked a woman in front of two children in Ipswich.

The woman, in her 30s, was walking in Christchurch Park with the children when a man told her to hand over her purse. She said no and started screaming but the man ran towards her and attacked her.

It's believed he had a knife and the woman sustained a cut to her hand.

The woman was left shocked and the children distressed and they were checked over by ambulance staff at the scene.

He's described as black with a three-inch Afro-style haircut, and was wearing a grey jacket and black trousers.

Officers initially closed the park to start the search for the robber and the police helicopter was brought in. Anyone who may have seen the man is asked to contact the police.
