POLICE are hunting two men who sexually assaulted a male driver by the side of a road.
The victim had just got out of his car in a layby on the eastbound side of the A66, on Teesside, near the airport turnoff, in the early hours of Sunday.
He was approached by a man who asked for a light, before a second grabbed him.
They fled after the assault in an old blue-panelled van when the victim escaped. The vehicle had red and yellow hatch markings below the rear doors.
The first man was white, in his late 30s, 6ft, slim, with a neat brown beard with orange flecks. He wore a dark woollen hat with horizontal stripes, camouflage trousers, boots and a green bomber jacket. He spoke with a local accent. The second was white, in his early 20s, about 5ft 5in, skinny, with short mousey brown hair. He wore white tracksuit bottoms and a dark jacket.
Anyone with information is asked to call (01642) 302226.
