Detectives investigating the sexual assault of a 20-year-old woman in Fortitude Valley on New Year’s Day have released CCTV footage of a man who may be able to assist with their inquiries.
Around 4am on January 1, the woman was sexually assaulted by a man in a laneway on Warner Street.
The woman managed to leave the laneway and seek help by a person passing by.
The man is not known to the woman and investigators are working to identify him.

The man is described as being Pacific Islander in appearance, about 166cm tall with dark brown hair kept in a pony-tail.
He was seen wearing a white t-shirt with a shoulder-style satchel, denim jeans and red shoes.
