Another sex worker has been assaulted in Hamilton.

A female received minor injuries from a man she took a Barton Street East location around 1 a.m. Thursday.

The man is described as white, 23 to 25 years old and 5 feet, 8 inches with a slender athletic build. He wore a black cap, a white T-shirt and blue jeans, as well as a thin cropped goatee and short dark hair.

Police are investigating.

A sex worker was assaulted in July when a man approached her at Barton Street East and Westinghouse Avenue. It was the latest in a series of similar incidents over the past three months.
