Detective Inspector Paddy O’Neill said, “This was a terrifying attack and we are very keen to identify the person responsible as soon as possible.

“The offender is very heavily built – like a body builder. I appeal to anyone who may have been in the Meadow Street area between 12:30am and 1am and may have seen or heard anything to come forward and contact us.”

Any information can be passed to police on 101. Alternatively, information can be passed to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or on-line at Crimestoppers-uk.org.
