The man, described as of “North African or Arabic appearance” by police, attacked the girl in a residential house in Berlin.

German investigators have now published photographs of a man they would like to speak to in connection with the incident, which took place on September 6 last year.

They say the girl, aged 15, was attacked from behind in the hallway of a house in the Berlin neighbourhood of Spandeau at 8.30pm.
