A WOMAN was left with minor injuries to her face and knees after a struggle with a man in Portadown.

Detectives are appealing for information and witnesses to the incident that took place at about 9:15am on Sunday.

Police received a report of some type of altercation or struggle between a man and a woman in Kensington Park, just off Long Lane.

The man was in a red Audi A4. The woman managed to run away from him and get herself to safety.

"The driver of the suspect Audi drove off, however, the vehicle is believed to have been on the Ballygargan Road in Portadown a short time later," the PSNI said.

"The female victim has been left badly shaken by this incident, during which she sustained minor injuries to her face and knees.

"Our enquiries are continuing this afternoon, and I would appeal to anyone who was in this area and saw what happened to call us.

"I would also urge anyone who believes they have seen the red Audi, which is described as having a dark-coloured roof, possibly black, or possibly with a large dark sunroof, or who knows of its whereabouts, to get in touch with our detectives in Lurgan."
