Police have confirmed a lone woman was assaulted by a car driver as she walked along a road in Swindon this morning less than a mile from missing Sian OCallaghans home.
The incident, which happened at around 10am, saw a 20-year-old woman walking along Elmina Road in the Wiltshire town when she noticed a driver in a red van gesturing to her.
She continued on her way but a short time later a man believed to be the driver physically assaulted her.
Police described the victim as was very shaken up, but stressed the incident was not being linked at this stage to the disappearance of Sian, 22, on Saturday.
