Witness sought after woman assaulted near White Rose Centre

The incident happened at about 1.30pm on Friday, November 29, while the victim, a 32-year-old woman, was driving on the ring road at the junction with Dewsbury Road, near to the White Rose.

She suffered a bloody nose and reddening to the face when she was punched by a man who stopped his car in front of her.

She was described as white and aged in her 40s with a teenage daughter. They were in a blue car.

The woman or anyone with any information is asked to contact Det Con 4159 Clare Fisher at Holbeck police station on 0113 2414642.
