Detectives are searching for the man pictured above after a woman reported being raped in the early hours of New Year's Day at a hotel in Sheffield.
South Yorkshire Police said the victim reported a man, who she did not know, attacked her in a hotel room in St Mary's Gate, at about 04:00 GMT on 1 January.
The force has now released a CCTV image of a man they believe may have information about the incident.
The man is described as being 5ft 10in (178cm), of slim build, with short black hair, a "stubbly" beard and a slit in one of his eyebrows at the time.
A police spokesperson said: "We have been conducting extensive inquiries since the incident was first reported to us, but are now appealing for the public's help to identify the man in this image as we believe he may be able to help us with our investigation."
Anyone who recognises him is asked to contact South Yorkshire Police.
