A 17-YEAR-old girl was subjected to a serious sexual assault in a Colne street after leaving a nightclub.
The girl had befriended a man outside Zebras, in Keighley Road, shortly after 4am on Sunday, police said.

The attacker is described as being white with olive skin, in his late 20s or early 30s, 6ft tall, of muscular build but with a slight beer belly. He possibly had an Italian accent.
He had short, dark, spiky hair and was wearing a white t-shirt and dark jeans.
