POLICE are hunting for a man in connection with a suspceted sex attack in Dundee.
New CCTV footage has been released as officers continue to investigate the attack in Bellefield Avenue between 2.30am-3.10am on Sunday January 28.
Images show a man who was spotted outside Corfu Kebabs in Seagate between 1.50am-2.15am on the same date.
The man is said to have come to the aid of two women involved in a fight outside the kebab shop.
Police have described the man as in his 20s, 5ft 10in-6ft 2in with short dark hair, unshaven, wearing a dark coloured long-sleeved top, blue jeans and dark footwear.
Plain clothes officers were previously seen taking photographs and knocking on doors i n the aftermath of the assault.
One resident told the Tele he heard a female crying in the early hours of the morning outside the block where a woman was said to have been attacked.
Detective inspector Sue Lawson said: “Through our inquiries, it has been established that our victim went to Corfu Kebabs and I am keen to speak to anyone who may have been in or around the shop around 1.50am on Sunday January 28.
“We know that an altercation took place between two women at Corfu Kebabs at this time and we hope this information will jog the memories of members of the public who were in the vicinity and may be able to assist us with the investigation.”
A police spokesman added: “If you know who this male is, know his movements either before or after his attendance at the kebab shop or were present there and remember the altercation, please contact police on 101 quoting reference CR/2155/18.
“If you wish to remain anonymous, please contact Crimestoppers 0800 555111.”
Councillor Fraser Macpherson, who represents the West End ward, told the Tele previously: “I have to say I am very shocked to hear this.
“Historically, Bellefield Avenue has always been a nice residential street.
“It is not a street where you would expect any crime to take place at all.”
