A baseball cap found close to where the attack happened is believed to belong to the suspect and police have released a pictures of it, hoping members of the public might recognise it and come forward with any relevant information.

The suspect is described as a white man, in his 30s, about 6ft tall who was wearing a navy blue top and dark coloured trousers. It is likely he will have scratches on his face.

Officers are also still looking for the victim’s iPhone 4, which was in a red case and was dropped at the scene.

District Chief Inspector Dave Pate said: "Lots of people have regular routines that would take them through the same parts of town at the same times each week; dog walkers, people on their way to or from work, or people who exercise in the area for example.

No arrests were made as a result of Sunday’s visit and the investigation is continuing.
