Gardai are searching a wide area of the Nagle Mountains in north Cork in an attempt to locate a man who escaped arrest last Friday.
The man fled into the woods at Glenville, Co Cork, to avoid being questioned about the sexual assault of a woman on July 1st in Coachford, Co Cork.
Gardai have appealed to the public not to tackle the man, but to contact their local station if he is spotted in the area.
