Cowardly louts bombarded a woman with dog dirt as she went for a late-night walk in Colchester.
The group of four or five teenagers, all wearing baseball caps, picked on the 53-year-old as she walked her dog in Normandy Avenue, Barn Hall.
Det Sgt Roger Napier, of Colchester CID, said: "They threw mud and dog dirt at the lady as she was trying to walk her dog.
"She was very upset about the incident."
The attackers were white, in their mid to late teens and wearing baseball caps.
