A DELIVERY rider is being hunted by cops after a woman was raped in Manchester city centre.
The woman was on Cross Street when she was approached by a man and raped in a “horrific attack”.
Two men – both aged 26 – who were arrested on suspicion of rape but have since been released with no further action.
The attack took place at around 2.15am on June 30 last year but police are hoping the image may prompt someone to come forward.
It shows a man they are keen to speak with holding a bike and wearing what appears to be a Deliveroo bag.
Greater Manchester Police confirmed they have been in touch with the delivery company.
Detective Sergeant Matthew Dixon, of GMP’s City of Manchester division, said: “I appreciate that this incident took place some time ago, but I would like to stress that we have been following every line of enquiry available to us, and are now appealing to the public to help us further with our investigation.
“The woman was subjected to a horrific attack that has left her incredibly shaken and we are doing everything we can to support her and find the man responsible.
“We are releasing this image in the hope of talking to the man pictured as part of our enquiries.”
Anyone with information is asked to call police on 01618564436 quoting incident number 1203 of 30/06/2019 or ring Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
A Deliveroo spokesperson told The Sun Online: “This was a horrific incident and we have of course helped the police in every possible way with their enquiries.
“We will continue to do all we can to help bring the man responsible to justice. We would urge anyone with any information to get in touch with the police.”
