In the early hours of 20 May, a woman was approached by a man in Victoria Street.

He convinced her to go for a walk with him and when she refused to have sex, he pushed her to the ground and raped her in the museum carpark, police said.

Clearer CCTV footage has become available and police hope it may help them find the man.

He has been described as being of Indian descent, about 172cm and of skinny build.
