Since the incident police have been gathering information to compile an image of the attacker.

The woman described the man as white, 34 to 35 years old, with short dark hair, prominent dark eyebrows and stubble.

Police said he was wearing dark trousers, white trainers and had a southern accent.

He was also wearing either a big silver chain or watch on his wrist.
