Officers want to speak to anyone who was in the area of Corporation Road between 0045 GMT and 0115 GMT on Wednesday to contact them.

In particular they are appealing for a man, described as walking from the Cromwell Road area towards the city centre just after 0100 GMT, to get in touch. It is believed he walked past the vehicle at the time of the alleged incident and it is hoped he can provide vital information.

The potential witness is described as black or Asian, about 40 years old, medium build, 5ft 8in - 5ft 10in (1.73 - 1.77m), with dark hair that is short but not shaved. He was wearing a short-sleeved dark shirt.


It must be warm in Newport this time of year.

Is this driver hackney carriage?

Regards

JD

Try to pre-arrange a lift home if possible, if not pre-book a licensed and regulated taxi or use the Cabsafe service - text CAB to 83222 to get details of three of the nearest licensed and regulated cabs to your location."



How is this going to help if it was supposedly a taxi driver that assaulted her in the first place :?

It sounds like it is! the colour coding for Newport hackneys is black, but I guess we will have to wait and see.

I'm not too sure what needs looking at other than cutting the knackers off rapists.
