Police are investigating a report of an assault of a woman on Hamilton Street in Oldham last Friday.
The woman, in her 20s, was walking along the road when a man grabbed her before taking her to the floor and repeatedly punching her.
Thankfully, the woman managed to call the police and get away with minor injuries.
The man is believed to have been wearing a dark grey top with dark tracksuit bottoms and trainers with white soles.
The attack happened around 10.50pm.
