SDLP MLA John Dallat said the attack has “created fear in the community” and has also appealed for anyone with information to cooperate with the police “in having the assailant arrested and brought to justice”.

Mr Dallat said: “An attack of this nature is shocking and the individual needs to be caught. No woman should have this experience wherever they live.”
