A teenager who had a vapour rub-type substance smeared into her eyes after being sexually assaulted has made an appeal to help find her attacker.
The 19-year-old was attacked as she walked along a footpath near Krefeld Way in Beaumont Leys last month.
The attacker fled after smearing the product into her eyes.
She said: "It happened after the attack. He rubbed it all in my eyes. It started to sting, I could hardly see."
'Catch him'
The teenager was targeted at about 0730 BST on 23 May.
She was taken to Leicester Royal Infirmary but discharged later the same morning.
She said: "A man was behind me and dragged me into the bushes and sexually assaulted me. I want him to be caught.
"I don't want it to happen to anyone else - nobody should go through that."
The attacker is described as black, aged 20-30 and wore a grey checked cardigan and dark jeans.
