A teenage girl from from Crawley has been attacked whilst walking home through Tilgate Park.
The girl fought off the man who grabbed her her by both arms. The incident happened shortly before 10am last Saturday.
The 14-year-old had self defence training and kicked and punched the man until she was clear of him before running off.
A short time later a 35-year-old man from Crawley was arrested on suspicion of assault. He was questioned before being released on bail until 31 October.
The attacker is described as white, very thin, around 5′ 7″ and aged 30 to 40. He had pale skin, had stubble on his chin and was wearing a black tracksuit with the hood up and cuffs slightly rolled up.
Detectives want to find anyone who saw the teenager being grabbed or where her attacker went next.
