The suspect had a distinctive tattoo on his right thigh. This tattoo is known as a Triquetra or Celtic Knot. Notably, her attacker is described as smelling of antiseptic or bleach.
Police described the attacker as a white man, aged in his twenties or thirties and of wiry or athletic build.
He is taller than 5ft 7in and wore a slightly faded, red hooded top with a pocket at the front.
The hood was up and the drawstrings were pulled tight around his face. He wore dark jeans and white trainers with a red trim – similar to a Nike tick.
Police would like to hear from anyone who knows someone who matches such a description or has such an unusual tattoo.
A spokesman said: "Such an incident in this area is very rare. We are keen to hear from anyone who was in the area at the time.
"The red top is distinctive and may jog someone's memory. The tattoo and its location will be unique to just a few people."
