This comes after a woman in her 20s reported that a man had followed her and then proceeded to cover her mouth and push her to the floor.
She screamed and the suspect immediately fled the scene in Seaforth, Liverpool.
The horrifying incident took place on Sunday September 21 at around 5:45pm.
The man pictured is riding a bike which appears to be white in colour.
A 27-year-old man from Litherland was initially arrested earlier this week on suspicion of sexual assault.
But, he has since been released with no further action after detectives eliminated him from the investigation.
Detective Chief Inspector Nick Suffield said in a new statement: “Extensive work has been ongoing since this incident, and we continue to support the victim, who was understandably distressed to be targeted in such a way.
“I would urge anyone who knows the identity of the man pictured to come forward, as he may be of assistance.
“We would also still like to urge anyone who lives in the area to check your own, CCTV, dashcam and any doorbell devices should there be anything which helps this work.
“Any information could be vital, so let us make the assessment.”
Anyone with information on the incident should contact the Merseyside Police via its social media desk, website or by calling 101.
