loose.

And Police have refused to rule out the man striking again.

Police spokeswoman Insp. Roseanda Jones refused to comment on the investigation's progress.

But she said: "Officers have been following up some specific leads and the matter is still under investigation.'' The hunt was launched after a man sexually assaulted a woman in her Paget home on Thursday, October 19.

The woman's husband was stabbed in the hand after he arrived home during the attack and tackled the man.

The attacker is described as aged in his late 20s or early 30s, about 5 feet-10 inches tall, weighing around 180 pounds, with a very dark brown, smooth complexion.

At the time of the attack, he was wearing a black T-shirt with a white star on the front and black jeans.

Meanwhile, a Police spokesman urged women to take steps to ensure their homes are as secure as possible.

He said viewers or peepholes in doors can be useful to screen callers and good outside lighting should be installed and women should consider keeping an air horn or personal alarm handy in the home.

Leaflets on security advice for women are also available from Police stations or the Crime Prevention Department.

Anyone who saw anyone answering the attacker's description in Paget's Middle Road and Bostock Hill areas between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. on the day of the incident or has any other information which could help the Police should contact Det. Chief Insp. George Jackson at 299-4554 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-623-8477.
