On Tuesday 18th January 2011 at about 6pm, a woman was out running in Bradley Stoke – as she approached the pedestrian traffic light controlled crossing on Bradley Stoke Way, running towards the roundabout which meets Savages Wood Road on the left and The Leisure Centre on the right, she came across a group of seven male youths who were taking up the footpath.
As the runner tried to run through a gap in the group to pass them, a lone male within the group took hold of her by the upper arms and said something to her before she was able to get free and continue on her way.
The male who grabbed the runner is described as a white male, 15-16 years old, quite short in comparison to the rest of the group, average build, wearing dark clothing.
