Police are appealing for information to help identify a man who could help with an ongoing rape investigation.

A woman was found unconscious in an alleyway off St Stephen's Street, in Bristol, at 21:40 GMT on Saturday 18 March. She had no recollection of what happened.

She was spotted on CCTV walking down Corn Street at about 20:00 with an unknown man, police said.

Officers would like to speak with the man pictured.

He is described as white, of slim to medium build, with short, dark hair, wearing a dark hooded top.

Det Con Florence Dickinson, from Avon and Somerset Police, said: "I would like to commend the strength of the victim in coming forward and reporting this crime.

"We have carried out a number of enquiries so far, including forensics, CCTV trawls and house-to-house enquiries, but now need the public's help."

She asked anyone who recognises the man, or has any information which could assist the investigation, to contact them.
