The assault took place on Hauge Road around 12.45, the woman had left a bus on Central Road and turned right onto Hauge Road, when she was approached by a man from behind.

The man is described as olive skinned, in his mid-20s, 6ft tall, of a medium build with a long black beard and short black hair with tattoos on his right forearm.
He was wearing a black tracksuit top, with matching black trousers and bright yellow trainers.
Detective Constable Martyn Gibson of GMP’s City of Manchester Team, said: “This woman was left bruised and shaken after what must have been a traumatic encounter.
“In her commitment to escape from this man, I’m sure that people in nearby homes, or people moving around the area at this time, will have heard something.
“Please help us to find this man by getting in touch if you saw anything that could help with our investigation, or recognise the description of the man.”
