THIS is the sex attacker being hunted by police after an attack on a pregnant young woman in Birmingham.
The fiend stalked his 19-year-old victim as she walked to her hotel from the Arcadian Centre.
He grabbed her around the throat and sexually assaulted the woman.
The brave victim tried to fight him off and her screams were heard by a passing taxi driver and a city centre worker. As they raced to her aid, the pervert fled.
The woman later discovered she was pregnant at the time of the attack.
Police have released the likeness and CCTV footage of the man to the Birmingham Mail and urged readers to name him.
His victim bravely agreed to re-live her ordeal in a bid to help police find him.
“The man who did this was evil and disgusting,” she said.
“ It’s just vile that he thought he had the right to do this to me.
“I was pregnant at the time of the attack but didn’t know. Thankfully, all seems OK with the baby. I just want to put it all behind me. I’m not going to let him ruin my life. I’m looking forward to the birth of my baby.”
The incident happened at about 4.30am on Sunday, February 28.
Police said the woman had left the Arcadian where she had been enjoying a night out with friends and was heading back to her hotel.
He attacked her from behind and pushed her into a doorway near the Old Rep Theatre, in Station Street. Throughout the attack he had his hand around her throat.
“The people at the scene saved me. If it wasn’t for them, goodness knows what would have happened to me,” she said.
“After it happened I was so confused and shocked. None of it seemed at all real. I was in shock for days. I’ve had to try to stay positive and take every day as it comes. Family and friends have been really supportive.
“As a result of the attack I am now much more aware of everyone when I am out. I’m more scared than ever before. I don’t like men looking at me or watching what I am doing.
“I never go anywhere on my own and I always make sure that I have got my phone with me. I would never walk anywhere in the dark on my own now. I want to see him go to prison for a long, long time.
“He is putting girls’ lives at risk. He shouldn’t be allowed on the streets. I don’t want him to do this to someone else.
“Anyone who recognises the e-fit or who knows something please come forward, whatever they know, please phone the police.
“Their information could succeed in getting an evil person put away and stop this happening to someone else.”
Det Con Elaine Dodd, Public Protection Investigator at Ladywood Police Station, said: “This young lady stood little chance of defending herself when attacked so quickly and from behind.
“We are releasing this e-fit and description to encourage members of the public to come forward and help our inquiry. We want to prevent this man from striking again.”
The man was described as Asian, possibly Pakistani or Bangladeshi, in his mid to late 20s, 5ft 11ins and slim with short black hair, a pointy nose and clean shaven. He was wearing a zip-up sports jacket with a drawstring hem, light T-shirt, dark jeans and footwear.
