The attack took place more than a year ago but West Yorkshire Police have only issued this appeal today.

A woman was seriously sexually assaulted by an unknown man in a toilet cubicle at the Mint Nightclub, in Harrison Street, in the early hours of the morning between Valentine’s Day and February 15.

He left the club shortly afterwards, leaving the victim who reported the matter to the police.

Police are issuing a picture of a man they would like to speak to in connection with the incident.

“The image was taken in Leeds on February 15 and we have been carrying out enquiries to identify the person pictured.
