A man attacked a woman outside a Tesco supermarket before she was driven away in a dark car.

Police said the victim was assaulted while she was walking along Pendleton Way in Salford, at around 10.45pm on Saturday. She was then seen being driven away "in a dark-coloured vehicle", cops said. Authorities have now released three images taken from CCTV in the area as part of their investigation into the incident.

A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police added: "At 10.45pm on December 16, a female was assaulted by a male on Pendleton Way, Pendleton, before she was seen being driven away in a dark coloured vehicle. "The incident occurred on the footpath by the entrance to Tesco Extra.
