When they arrived, police said they found a woman in her 50s who was naked and unconscious.
"She received serious, serious facial injuries," said police Cons. Tony Vella. "She was rushed to hospital. She remains in hospital in serious condition."
Police said they were not able to interview the woman as of Tuesday afternoon. They released a photo of a suspect taken from a security camera in the area.

He is scheduled to appear in court Wednesday morning at 10 a.m.
