Witness appeal after sexual assault on Nutbrook Trail
Detectives are appealing for witnesses after a woman was sexually assaulted while walking along the Nutbrook Trail near Kirk Hallam.
The assault happened at about 1.30am this morning.
A 33-year-old man was arrested in connection with the incident a short time later and remains in police custody for questioning.
