Officers arrived at the scene and arrested one man, but Major Crime Detectives believe witnesses may be able to share what they saw with police.

They say there were several witnesses who saw a woman and the suspect together before and during the assault, including a male witness who was wearing black and walking on Cormorant Street at the time.

Police say the suspect may have yelled at the witness during the assault.
