DO YOU RECOGNISE THE MAN IN THE CCTV? POLICE APPEAL FOR INFORMATION AFTER ORDSALL RAPE

However, despite extensive enquiries they have unfortunately been unable to identify him so far.

They have now released moving footage from outside of The New Union on Canal Street and are appealing to anyone who was there in the early hours of Sunday 30 April 2017.

At around 4.15am the victim left The New Union and went to an address in Ordsall where she was raped.

The woman - who is in her 40s - left the address about 5.45am and walked a short distance before knocking on a door of a house to ask for help. A man answered and called her a taxi which took her back to the Fallowfield area.

Detective Constable Julie Tsang, from GMP's Salford Borough, said:

"We have trawled through all available CCTV and have followed extensive enquiries.

"This is an extremely serious offence and despite everything we have done so far, we have not yet been able to speak to the man in the footage.

"We need to speak to him and, as you can see from the CCTV, a lot of people were outside the bar at the same time as this man.

"If you were one of these people, then please contact us as you may have vital information about him.

"If you think you recognise him, or know a friend who was there at the time and who looks similar to this man, then please also get in touch. It doesn⿿t matter how trivial the information is, it could be crucial to finding the answers this victim deserves.

"I would also like to appeal directly to the man. If this is you, I would urge you to call police immediately."
