A man has been charged after a woman was sexually assaulted in Bristol last month.
The attack happened on a woman on her 20s in Frog Lane during the early hours of Sunday, March 23.
The suspect then left the area on a bike, police say.
A man was later arrested in connection with this investigation by officers carrying regular night-time economy patrols in the city centre on Saturday, April 12.
Oleksandr Dihacov, who lives in Cotham, was subsequently charged with two sexual assault offences and one count of voyeurism.
The 39-year-old appeared before Bristol Magistrates’ Court yesterday (Monday, April 14).
He was remanded and will appear at Bristol Crown Court on Monday, May 19.
Avon and Somerset Police said: “Anyone who reports a sexual offence is entitled to anonymity from the moment police are informed and we can help them access support services.
“Details of independent support groups who are available to rape and sexual assault victims, regardless of whether they report the offence to police, can be found on our website.”
