COPS have released an e-fit as they hunt for a suspect after a woman was allegedly raped by the same man in four months.
The force said the alleged victim was approached by a man in August 2023 in Ancoats, Manchester.
He was “physically aggressive” towards her and raped her, police said.
The same man approached the woman again in December 2023, cops said.
Following a “brief interaction”, he “again became aggressive, pinned her down and raped her”.
Detectives have now released an e-fit image of a man they want to speak to in connection with a rape investigation.
The incidents happened on Pin Mill Brow and Palmerston Street in Ancoats, police said.
Greater Manchester Police said in a statement: “We have continued to support the victim involved in these incidents since they were reported to us, and in recent months, she has felt comfortable enough to bravely assist in the creation of an e-fit image of a suspect.”
Detective Constable Amy Leech from CID North Manchester said: “This was a horrific and deeply distressing incident, which has had a significant impact on the victim.
“Our officers continue to work with the victim to ensure she is supported throughout this process, and I would like to commend her bravery for coming forward to help us identify the individual.
