Police say a woman who was raped while jogging in West Lothian on Tuesday night suffered an 'absolutely terrifying' ordeal.
The 32-year-old was punched to the ground and attacked as she ran along a path close to Armadale Racetrack, next to the A801, at around 9pm.
The suspect, described as only white with a Scottish accent, then left the scene and the victim went home before going to hospital.
She suffered injuries to her face, back and shoulder.
Detective Superintendent Pat Campbell said: "This has been an absolutely terrifying ordeal for the victim and we are continuing to provide her with all the necessary support and assistance she requires.
"We are extremely eager to hear from anyone who remembers seeing any suspicious activity on the footpath or around the racetrack.
"The area is popular with dog walkers and joggers and so we are hopeful that someone may have vital information relevant to our inquiry.
"If you believe you saw something, or can help provide us with a better description of the suspect then please contact police immediately"
