Police in Manchester are hunting a rapist who assaulted a woman after breaking into her home.
Officers say the woman in her 30s disturbed an intruder who had broken into her house in the Hollins Road area of Oldham, sometime between 3am and 6am on Sunday morning.
He then followed her upstairs and raped her in a "harrowing attack", before leaving the house.
The wanted man is described as white, in his 40s, with a large muscular build, short brown hair and clean shaven.
Detective Sergeant Martin Ashurst from Manchester's Serious Sexual Offences Unit said: "This was a harrowing attack on a woman in her own home.
"I want to reassure people that this type of incident is very rare and we are now conducting a detailed investigation.
"Please, if you saw anything that night, specifically a man fitting the description of the attacker, in that area then call us."
The victim is now being supported by specialist officers.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Serious Sexual Offences Unit on 0161 856 1741 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
