Detectives investigating two sexual assaults that happened within minutes of each other in York have renewed their appeal for information.

They are continuing their inquiries into assaults against two young women who were walking alone in the city in September.

One incident occurred in the Navigation Road area at around 12.30am on Tuesday, September 26.

The other happened in the Hull Road area between 12.03am and 1am on the same day.

A man in his 20s was arrested in connection with the investigation on 27 September and was later released under investigation.
