Unknown woman sought after kisser arrested

Police who arrested a man on suspicion of a town centre sexual assault are now appealing for his unknown victim to come forward.

Officers were alerted to a man approaching a woman and kissing her on the mouth without consent in Kendal at about 16:00 BST on Monday, Cumbria Police said.

The assault, which took place outside the Tesco Express on Stricklandgate, was reported to a council staff member, but the victim walked away without leaving her details.

The person arrested in connection with the incident has since been bailed pending further inquiries.

Officers are also appealing for anyone who may have witnessed what happened to get in touch with them.
