Witness Appeal Following Hastings Wine Bar Sex Attack

Police in Hastings need to talk to these two men, who may be valuable witnesses to a sexual assault in Hastings.

Police say a 24-year-old woman reported being attacked by a man in the toilet area of Yates Wine Bar in Robertson Street, between late evening on Wednesday 27 July and about 2am on Thursday 28 July. 

The man is described as white, bald, in his late thirties to early forties, of average build, 5'9", wearing black jeans and trainer like shoes.

It's believed the men pictured were in the bar and toilet area at around that time and Detective Constable Conor Underhill of the East Sussex Safeguarding Investigations Unit said:

"They may have important information that will help us in building a picture of what happened, and we would very much like them to come forward and talk to us.

"And if you know either of them, please contact us with any information that will help us trace them.

"Anyone else who was in Yates that night is also asked to get in touch.

"You can contact us online or by calling 101, quoting serial 573 of 01/08."

You can also contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
