She managed to escape after two men, believed to be of Chinese origin, walked past - prompting the man to let her go.

The man was described as in his 20s to 30s, white, with tanned skin, short dark hair and stubble on his face.

He spoke with a foreign accent and was reported to be wearing a black hooded top and black jogging bottoms during the attack at 12.35am on Saturday.
