It is hoped the public will be able to identify the man.
He is described as a hairy, chubby Indian, about 25 years old, with dark skin and a slight accent. He is about 1.67m tall, or about 5'6". On the night I question, the man was wearing a white netted baseball cap.
The vehicle the alleged rapist was driving has also been described. It was a light-coloured Toyota Vitz with black interior, in a messy condition. It had only one tail light working and had a white bag under the front passenger seat.
"This was a brutal, prolonged attack on a young woman and we're working very hard to make sure this person is brought to justice," Detective Sergeant Scott Armstrong said in a statement this afternoon.
"We have a solid description of the offender and his car and I'm urging people to cast their minds back and have a think about whether they recognise either of these pictures.
"We want to hear from anyone who recognises the person in the computer sketch, especially if they have any links to a Toyota Vitz like the one in the picture, either as the owner or as someone who has access to a vehicle like that.
"The cap is also distinctive and may well assist in identifying the person in the computer sketch."
