A teenager has been raped in Belfast city centre.

The attack on the 18-year-old took place in the Gloucester Street area on Saturday April 8.

Detective Inspector Zoe McKee said: "We are keen to identify and speak to a male we believe may be able to assist us with our enquires.

"He is described as around 19 years old, 5ft 7 tall, thin, clean shaven with short dark hair."

She appealed for witnesses and asked to hear from anyone who was in the area during the early hours of Saturday April 8 and who may have witnessed a "distressed" female or anything else unusual.
