These are the faces of two men wanted in connection with a sex attack on a woman in an Eastbourne alleyway.

Detectives today released CD-fit pictures of the pair after a woman in her 40s was attacked as she walked near Birling Street and Northiam Road.

One man pinned her down and the other watched as he carried out the attack. Both then fled towards Green Street at 6pm on February 16.

The dazed and distressed victim was found more than an hour later by a member of the public, who called the police.

Acting Detective Sergeant Mark Ling, leading the investigation, said: "This was a serious assault on a woman who has understandably been left with deep mental scars as a result. "

The man who carried out the assault was in his early 20s, 6ft 2in tall and had short dark brown hair and brown eyes.

He had a metal hoop ring in his right ear, a silver ring on the small finger of his right hand, and wore a black padded jacket, black jeans and white trainers.

The second man was 16 to 18, 5ft 3in tall, plump and had acne. He wore a dark baseball cap, blue denim jacket, jeans and trainers.

Anyone with information should call Eastbourne police on 0845 6070999 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
