The sex attacker left the East Oxford house through a window when the victim shouted out.

The incident happened at about 4.30am yesterday in James Street.

Police described the suspect as black, about 5ft 8in tall, slim, and with short dark hair. He was wearing dark trousers and a grey plaid lumberjack-style shirt.

Pc Andrew Poole appealed for anyone with information to call 101.

He said: “The victim of this assault, though thankfully unhurt, was left very shaken.”
