A search is underway for a man who bashed and sexually assaulted a woman in a Melbourne laneway.
The attacker followed the 23-year-old victim from King street in the CBD to North Melbourne in the early hours of this morning.
After the victim rejected the man's advances, he dragged her into a laneway, where he punched and kicked her repeatedly in the face before sexually assaulting her.
Detective Senior Constable Brett Sniegowski says the woman is recovering in hospital, where she is in a stable condition with facial injuries
"When we investigate this incident it's actually a frightening attack to consider - the injuries, the open attack in an open area - it's concerning," he said.
