A 22-YEAR-OLD mother was sexually assaulted in broad daylight as she tended to her baby yesterday.

The young mum was walking on the footpath between 2.15pm and 2.30pm to the side of Tesco in Ingleby Barwick, near Stockton when she turned right towards Romano Park and headed towards the underpass.

She stopped to tend to her baby and was assaulted by a 6ft-tall man.

The man was described as Asian and slim. Another man passed by shortly after the attack and police urgently need him to come forward.

Anyone with any information is asked to call Cleveland Police on 01642 326326
