Police Hunt Sex Attacker Caught On CCTV


This is the would-be rapist police want to question about an attack on a 25 year-old woman, who was followed home on the underground then dragged behind shops by her assailant.

The victim was travelling to Barking, Essex, on the District Line on December 3, last year when the man – who claimed his name was ‘John’ – engaged her in conversation.

They left the station separately at 10.30 pm, but he followed her through the town centre, grabbed her and pulled her behind a row of shops.

Luckily he was startled when a security light at the rear of a Chinese takeaway came on and the victim escaped.

The suspect is described as black, approx 30 years old, of stocky build, with brown eyes.

He was wearing a white top, brown jacket - possibly suede or leather, dark blue jeans, dark brown Timabaland-style boots, and a navy blue hat with an ‘EDF’ logo.

Anyone with information which may be able to assist the investigation is asked to call the Sapphire Unit on 01708 779 623. To remain anonymous call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
