Woman's horror after being 'groped' by random man on way home from gym

A woman whose breast was 'groped' by a random man as she innocently walked home near the city centre has said she feels 'violated' by the alleged attack.

The victim, who has asked not to be named, says she was walking back along Cheetham Hill Road after going swimming at around 4pm on Sunday (August 13).

It is then that she claims a man approached her as she scrolled through her mobile phone, 'groped' her breast and then casually walked off before two quick thinking people pulled over to help.

"I was in such shock and fury. He just carried walking on at normal pace and didn’t look back. Luckily a couple witnessed it from their car and they pulled over and came to check on me.

"They gave me everything I needed to report it so I did when I got home. The police then came round and said they were patrolling the area and would keep an eye out for him.

"I’m glad the man and his wife who helped were proactive in the situation as I wouldn’t of had anything to be able to report him and I’m glad I did, if not for me, for the other women who walk the streets.

The victim said she thought she would have been safe walking along the typically busy main road but has now been left feeling 'confused, shocked and violated' by the alleged attack.

The incident reportedly happened near to the Texaco petrol station, on
