Getty ImagesA 25-year-old man has been arrested after a woman was raped, police have said.
The attack happened at about 01:00 GMT on 16 March in Rooksbridge, Somerset.
Avon and Somerset Police said the victim managed to flee the scene before she was helped by a member of the public. A man has now been arrested on suspicion of rape and has been released on conditional bail.
Officers want to speak to a woman who was asked for directions and any drivers who were in that area on that date between 06:00 and 07:45.
Insp Charmaine Dyne said a "thorough investigation" is under way.
"We would like to hear from any drivers who saw a woman in the area on the morning of March 16," she said.
"We would also particularly like to speak to a woman, who was described as wearing a lanyard and being in the company of a small child, who was approached by another woman who asked for directions to Bridgwater."
