The assailant is described as being 6ft in height with a skinny build.
Police have appealed for anyone with information to contact them on 028 9065 0222 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

The individuals said they had to make checks, but when they left, residents noticed that valuables and money were missing.
Detectives have warned residents to always ask for identification before letting someone into their home.
