CCTV appeal to identify man under investigation for rape

Detectives investigating a serious sexual assault are appealing for the public’s help.

They believe the man pictured may have information that can assist us in our inquiries into the incident which took place in Bristol.

He is described as white, between 25-30 years old, of medium build. He is shown wearing a white jumper, a black vest and a white baseball cap.

On Sunday, March 24, between 2-3.30am, the victim was raped in Colston Parade, near Redcliff Hill.

Investigating officer DC Ewan Brand said: “I have to commend the courage of the victim to intervene following this incident. We do not underestimate the strength and courage it must have taken.

“We are always mindful in our investigations of the impact that events like this can have on the victim. We have carried out a number of inquiries, such as examining forensic evidence, over the past few months and have now reached a stage where we can issue this appeal.

“Do you recognize this man? We think they may have some information that can support our questions.”

If you can help, call 101 and quote reference 5224075594.

Our officers can be seen regularly patrolling areas popular with the economy at night. They provide reassurance to those socializing, respond to ongoing incidents and provide support to locations.

We encourage you to speak to our officers or venue security if you suspect someone has committed a crime.
