An investigation has been launched after a woman was sexually assaulted in a park in Newcastle-under-Lyme.

Police were called to Thistleberry Parkway, Keele Road, at about 10.30pm last night when a woman in her 40s was approached by two men.

They grabbed hold of the woman but walked away after she resisted.

A spokesperson for Staffordshire Police said: "We've launched an investigation into what happened and have set-up a cordon at the scene today (18 March).

Police are looking for two men, both of which were wearing dark clothing at the time (SWNS).

"Officers will be speaking to people who live locally and anyone with any information that can help us with our enquiries.

"The suspects were wearing dark clothing at the time. One of them looked older than the other.

"If you have any information that can help us, call 101 or message us using Live Chat."
