South Yorkshire Police said when the appeal was issued that a woman in her 20s had reportedly been raped by an unknown male on June 17, between 1.30am and 1.50am.

The force said at the time that the victim was being supported by specialist officers.

It said officers wanted to speak to the person in the CCTV image as they believed he might hold information that could help with their investigation.

South Yorkshire Police said no arrests had been made.
