Police are appealing for information after a teenager was knocked unconscious and sexually assaulted at a Newquay bus stop in early June.

The 19 year old woman was on a night out in the town on Saturday, June 3, when the incident happened.

A police spokesperson said: "She left Sailors Nightclub and made her way through the town along Berry Road and to the Boating Lake where she approached a blond woman in the lake shelters and requested a cigarette.

"An altercation then occurred where the victim was punched by the other woman and knocked out on the floor. She blacked out for an unknown period of time and reported to police that a serious sexual assault had also taken place."

Police are appealing for witnesses to the incident and are particularly keen to locate the blond haired woman.

Anyone with information is asked to email 101@dc.police.uk or call 101, quoting crime number CR/43420/17.
