A 26 year old woman's recovering after a sex attack at Bread Street in Manchester in the early hours of Bank Holiday Monday.
Police were called at 1.30am and believe the victim had left The Cotton Tree Pub on Cross Lane when she was dragged across the street by a man who subjected her to a serious sexual assault in nearby gardens.
He's described as Asian, aged between 28 and 30, around 5'10" and was wearing a dark baseball cap and dark hooded top.
DS Philip Steele is from Greater Manchester Police's Serious Sexual Offences unit, “Our primary concern is for the welfare of the woman and the circumstances around her being attacked.
"We are offering her support from a team of specially trained officers and need to make sure that the man responsible for this is found and questioned in custody.
"If you were in or around the pub a short time before the call came in, I’m asking you to think back. Did you notice anything unusual? Did you see a man fitting that description?
"Alternatively, you may have heard a disturbance in the area which you have not yet reported to us. Please, if you saw, heard or know anything, get in contact with us."
