Detectives are appealing for information after a woman has been sexually assaulted by a man in Audenshaw.The attack happened yesterday at around 12.30am on St Anne's Road when the 20 year-old woman was walking along the road near to the junction of Howard Street.

She noticed a man on the opposite side of the street stood under a lamp post, who shouted a suggestive comment at her.The woman carried on her journey and was part way down Werneth Street when she heard the man run up behind her.

He grabbed her by the arm and sexually assaulted her, before dragging her down Werneth Street pulling her back towards St Anne's Road.The victim struggled with her attacker, resulting in her being hit in the face, but managed to break free and escape down Werneth Street.

The offender is white and described as slim build, around 5ft 11in tall and he was wearing a black and grey camouflage jacket with the hood up and a full face covering, possibly a balaclava.

He is described as wearing a gold sovereign ring with what looked like a $1 coin on the top.Detective Inspector John Charlton from GMP's Tameside Division said: "This is an extremely worrying attack on a lone young woman in the early hours of this morning.

"Thankfully, the victim was able to fight this man off and run away, but as you can imagine she has been left devastated by what happened to her."We have a team of officers making enquiries into this attack and are appealing for any witnesses that may be able to help us identify this man and arrest him, to get in touch.

Ghanem Mahroum, 60, from Nazareth, very much wants to move to the neighboring city, Upper Nazareth. "I feel better here; in our city there's a lot of crime, noise, and our municipality is not good enough. I'd be happy to live with Jews. If I have enough money I'll move here." His son, who is a lawyer, is already about to make the move from Nazareth to Upper Nazareth.

With two months to go before local council elections, the Upper Nazareth mayor succeeded last week in dictating the agenda. For him, the main issue is relations between Jewish and Arab residents of town. His campaign, which began about a week and a half ago, features posters with pictures of leftwing MKs Ilan Gilon (Meretz), Haneen Zoabi (Balad) and Ahmed Tibi (United Arab List-Ta'al) and quotes they have made in the past against Gapso. Later the posters were removed and replaced by Gapso's replies, such as the sign "Upper Nazareth will be Jewish forever; no more shutting our eyes,Indoorilite offers the best LED Spotlights and the best halogen spotlights around. no more clinging to the law allowing every citizen to live wherever they want. This is the time to protect our home."

"There's a war atmosphere in the city," said an Arab business owner who requested anonymity. "This time things have reached a climax, but there have been statements against us for a long time and they are already creating a bad atmosphere here." He claimed that as a result of that atmosphere his young son was humiliated and harassed in his kindergarten.These are one of the 10-70W Square Flood Lighting you can buy, with one of the lowest defect rates in the industry.

Attorney Sari Khoury, an Upper Nazareth resident, also says: "Our mayor wants us, the Arabs, to feel inferior in this city. He's quite a provocateur who makes sure to emphasize again and again what a racist he is." At the same time Khoury emphasized that "On a daily basis, I would describe my neighborly relations with the Jews as very good. There really is no difference in my relationship with a Jewish or an Arab neighbor."
