Avon and Somerset police are investigating after a report of a man sexually assaulting a woman in Bath.
It happened on the footpath between Charlcombe Way and Charlcombe Lane at about 8pm on Thursday 20 February.
Officers attended the scene, took initial details and have been carrying out early enquiries.
The force have warned residents that they will continue to see an increased uniformed police presence around the area in the coming days.
The woman has been offered support through The Bridge Sexual Assault Referral Centre and, when she is ready, specialist officers will take a fuller account of what happened.
According to police, more people than usual were in the area that night to witness the annual toad migration.
They're asking anyone who was there on Thursday evening between 7pm and 9pm, and have yet to speak with officers, do get in touch.
