TWO strangers grabbed a lone woman as she walked towards Bromsgrove town centre.

The 23-year-old victim struggled with the men before escaping, but suffered grazing to her face. The incident happened at 1.45am last Saturday.

Police described the incident, on the Birmingham Road at the junction with Barnsley Hall Drive, as "disturbing".

It is not clear what the motives of the attackers were but they escaped on foot towards the M42 island.

The second was also white, aged 30, with short dark hair, a goatee beard, of stocky build, 5ft 8in tall, and wearing a short-sleeved dark shirt.
