She ignored him so he pushed her to the floor in a secluded part of the alleyway, touched her inappropriately, exposed himself and then attempted to rape her.

The woman managed to fight him off and run away.

The man in the e-fit or anyone who recognises him should call Northamptonshire Police on 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
