Police said the woman was walking on Viking Road in Bridlington at around 6.45pm, when she was approached by a man wearing a black hoodie, a black scarf covering his face, and blue jeans.
"A member of the public intervened in a car and the offender ran off in the direction of Wheatley Drive," said a police statement.
