"A woman was approached by a man as she stood on O'Connell Street waiting for a taxi and engaged in conversation," a Garda spokesman said. The two then walked down Eden Quay to the nearby bus station where they got a taxi.
"This taxi took them to an apartment complex opposite the Fire Station at North Strand where they both got out. The woman was then sexually assaulted in the apartment complex," the spokesman said.
Gardaí wish to speak to the taxi driver who picked up the pair between 4 a.m. and 5 a.m. on Sunday morning last.
The man is described as being five foot, five inches in height, of slim build, in his mid twenties, and with dark hair, neatly cut, with thick dark eyebrows. He had some stubble on his face, crooked front teeth, a pointed slender nose and faint freckles.
He is described as having a "normal Dublin accent" and was wearing blue jeans with a dark jumper type jacket or fleece. Gardaí have released an artist's impression of the suspect.
