Woman raped in toilets of Newcastle bar as cops release CCTV of man they’re searching for after horrific sex assault
A WOMAN has been raped in the toilets of a bar as cops release CCTV images of a man they’re searching for.
The horrific sex assault is reported to have happened in Sinners Bar, Newcastle, in the early hours of June 4 this year.
Northumbria Police launched an investigation after receiving a report of the incident at the establishment on Newgate Street, in the city centre.
The victim told officers she was approached by a man who was not known to her, shortly before the attack is said to have happened.
The force say they’ve carried out enquiries and would now like to speak to witnesses.
They have since released images of a man who was in the bar at the time in the hope he might be able to assist them.
A spokesperson for Northumbria Police said: “He was in the bar at the time of the incident and may have information which can assist their enquiries.
“The man, anyone who knows him, or anyone with information is asked to contact police by using the ‘Tell us Something’ page on our website.”
Anyone with information should quote the crime reference 069890W/23.
