Detective Inspector Allen Shaw said: “We have received a report of a serious sexual assault which happened in the early hours within a building in the Raeburn Place area of Aberdeen.
“Our inquiries are at an early stage but we are appealing to anyone with information or who may have seen the man described to contact us.
