Detectives investigating the rape have recovered CCTV from the area and identified a man they wish to speak with who may be able to help, and was not involved in the offence.
Detective Constable Rob Way, who is carrying out the investigation, said: "I am really keen to identify this man who may have vital information about the attack.
"He was not involved in the offence, but given how close he was to the offence he could have seen or heard something that can help us catch the suspect.
"If you know this man, or if this is you, please get in touch with us."
The suspect is described as aged in his late 20s to early 30s, with an olive complexion and thick black hair. He was wearing a dark jacket and baggy trousers.
