Detectives are appealing for information after a woman was sexually assaulted in her own home in Heald Green on Tuesday night.
The 35-year-old was in bed with her young children when she heard a repeated knocking at the front door of her home in Heald Green.
She opened the front door and an unknown man grabbed her by throat and pushed her to the ground.
He then sexually assaulted her before he fled because of her loud screams.
The attacker was described as Asian, slim build, about 20-years-old and 6ft tall. He was wearing a dark green zip up hooded top and dark blue baggy jeans.
Officers searched the area last night and will be continuing enquiries today.
