Police have arrested a man in connection with a sexual assault in Long Eaton. The victim was approached by a man as she was walking along Darwin Road at around 12.45am on Sunday 14th July. She was sexually assaulted before the man was disturbed by members of the public and he ran off. On Tuesday evening (23rd July), a 21-year-old man was arrested in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, on suspicion of attempted rape, and he remains in police custody. Chief Superintendent Emma Aldred said: “This incident has understandably shocked the community in Long Eaton – and I am pleased to say that we have arrested a man in connection with the incident. While enquiries continue, I would like to thank everyone who has come forward to support the investigation and provided footage. We are still keen to hear from anyone who may not have already been in touch with officers to help secure all the evidence to bring the person responsible to justice.” We remain interested in hearing from anyone who lives in the following streets to check any CCTV between 12.30am and 1.30am on Sunday 14th July:
