Victoria police are asking any witnesses to come forward if they have information about a violent sexual assault that happened just north of the downtown core late Monday night.
Police say the victim was injured and was treated in hospital after being attacked and then sexually assaulted by an unknown man just after 10 p.m.
The victim reports the attacker was 30 to 40 years old, black, about six feet tall and spoke with an East African accent.
He also wore a mask, jeans and T-shirt and was pushing an older-style racing bicycle.
