GARDAÍ INVESTIGATING a serious sexual assault in south Dublin have released photographs of a possible witness they want to talk to as part of their inquiries.
Gardaí last night issued stills of the man, taken from CCTV footage recorded near the attack scene in Ranelagh in October of last year, one year ago. The victim walked from South King Street in Dublin’s south inner city to Ranelagh, where the attack occurred in the early hours of Sunday, October 26th. The woman was attacked by an unidentified man at Elmpark in Ranelagh at about 2.30am.
Garda sources said the attack was of a violent sexual nature. The man captured in the released CCTV images was seen walking in the area at about the time of the incident. Gardaí have been unable to identify him.
Supt Finbar O’Brien of Donnybrook Garda station said he believed anybody who knew the man should be able to identify him from the pictures. “We are very keen to speak with this man.” Anybody who knows him is asked to call (01) 666 9200 or the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111.
