POLICE have addressed reports of an attempted sexual assault circulating on social media.

The Facebook post, which has been shared more than 300 times since last week, states that a young woman was dragged into bushes by a man in King George VI Park, Kingswinford, but managed to escape unharmed.

However a West Midlands Police spokesman said that the incident has not been reported to police or confirmed.

The spokesman added: “Please do not be alarmed but do be vigilant and report any suspicious behaviour to us via 101.”
