The assault happened at around 6.10am as the woman, who is in her twenties, was walking to work along a paved alleyway running alongside the cricket pitches from Wenlock Road to London Road.

A West Mercia Police spokesperson said: "She saw a man walking quickly towards her and as they passed, he grabbed her arm and pushed, causing her to fall to the ground.

"He then ran off without speaking."

The woman, whose clothing was ripped as she fell, received a slight leg injury
