This is an E-Fit of a knife-wielding sex attacker who pounced on a teenager as she walked home in the early hours near the iconic Abbey Road recording studio made famous by The Beatles.
The Metropolitan Police’s Sapphire Unit, which specializes in hunting down sex predators, are appealing for anybody who recognizes the suspect to come forward.
The 19 year-old victim was making her way home from work at 2.30 am on April 29 in Central London’s St. John’s Wood when the man approached.
He tried to make conversation with the young woman, who told him to leave her alone.
The suspect pushed the victim against a wall - threatening her with a knife - then assaulted her and demanded cash.
After taking the victim's money the suspect ran away.
The man is described as black, aged between 18 - 25 years-old, approx 5'6" tall, wearing white trainers and dark clothing.
Detective Constable Carl Ryan said: “We would very much like to hear from anyone who recognizes, or who believes they recognize, the e-fit of the suspect.
“We are also keen to hear from anyone who was in the area at the time of the incident. It may be that they witnessed the incident itself, or the suspect in the area before the assault, or the suspect leaving the area after the assault.”
Anyone with information can call DC Ryan on 020 7421 0393. If you wish to remain anonymous call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
