Detectives investigating a vicious daylight assault on two young women have issued an e-fit of a woman they want to speak to.

The woman is described as white, of big build with dark blonde hair and faded freckles under her eyes.

The two victims, aged 18 and 22, were walking along McKenzie Way, Epsom, at around 5pm on Tuesday, August 18, when they were approached by a number of teenagers walking from the Grove Close direction.

A woman approached one of the victims aged 22, punching her in the face and the other, the 18-year-old woman, was punched to the body.

A white man shouted abuse at the pair. He is described as 5ft 8in, of skinny build with very short blonde hair.

He was wearing grey trousers, a short sleeved white shirt and trainers.

Police said the main suspects involved are described as:

• A white female, aged around 16 to 17-years-old, 5ft 7ins tall and of a heavy build.

She is described as having dark blonde hair tied up in a ponytail and may have had a tooth missing. She was wearing a long sleeved grey top and grey jogging bottoms.

• A white male, 5ft 8ins tall, of a skinny build with very short blonde hair. He was wearing grey trousers, a short sleeved white shirt and trainers.
