A Crewe man has been arrested on suspicion of assault of a woman, following an incident in a Cheshire town last month.

On Saturday 23 September, a woman was walking along Station Road, Alsager, when she was approached by a man who began to follow her.

At 7pm, a man driving past at the time stopped his car to assist the victim.

She was able to get into the vehicle, but was assaulted by the suspect.
