The incident happened at about 3.20pm on Tuesday. The teenager passed out and came round about half an hour later to find nothing had been stolen from her. Police also said there was no evidence of any sexual assault.
Her attacker is described as white, about 6ft, with dark unkempt hair. He wore a dark jacket.
