UPDATE: Police closed Sheffield street to investigate a "prostitute attack"

Police reportedly set up the cordon outside Design Workshop on Wilson Street, Neepsend, at around 2.30am following an incident.

The cordon was removed by 9am but an employee at Design Workshop said he was "shocked" to hear about the attack as he arrived for work this morning.

An employee at Design Workshop said: "I got to work at about 6.30 this morning and the police cordon was already up.

"The police wouldn't really tell us anything. All they told us was that a prostitute had been attacked during the night.

"They said that she was shaken but not badly hurt. But they wouldn't tell us anything more than that.

"It's very rare for something like this to happen around here but it's very shocking to see."

No confirmed details have been released as of yet by South Yorkshire Police after being approached by The Star for comment.
