“(The man was wearing) a blue T-shirt, shorts and some thongs,” Queensland Police Detective Senior Constable Kim Rasker said.

“He has a distinct tattoo on his upper left arm- an American eagle. He also has spacers in both ears.”

Detective Rasker said the young woman was “understandably shaken by the ordeal,” but is being supported by loved ones.

The officer said the woman was out for her evening exercise at the time of the attack.

“She was out for her evening walk, a jog, and has been dragged from the footpath into the toilet block where she was sexually assaulted,” Detective Rasker said.

“She was knocked unconscious as a result of this, and that male person has fled the scene.”
