Police have released an image of a man they want to talk to after a 19-year-old woman was raped following a night out in Manchester last month.
The victim was on a night out and reported to police that shortly before 4am on Saturday 29 February, she had been raped on Charles Street in the city centre.
According to Greater Manchester Police, the woman first met the offender during a night out but after leaving the club on Princess Street on foot at around 3.30am, she was raped behind a car park off Charles Street.
No arrests have been made and enquiries are ongoing. The woman is being supported by specialist officers.
Detective Constable Katy Shadwell, of GMP’s City of Manchester division, said: “This woman was subjected to a horrendous attack that has left her feeling violated and understandably shaken.
"We are doing all we can to support her and find the man responsible.
“We have been following every line of enquiry available to us in helping to uncover the circumstances of this attack, and we are now appealing to the public to help us further with our investigation.
“We have been examining a number of CCTV opportunities, and as a result we are able to release this image in the hope of talking to the man pictured as part of our enquiries.
"If anyone has any information about the identity of this man, please contact police as soon as possible.”
