Police have released this CCTV image of a suspect being hunted for terrifying attacks on two young female students – one of whom he sexually assaulted.
The first victim, aged 19, was pounced on in Torrington Place, Bloomsbury, Central London on October 19 and grabbed around the waist.
The assailant tried to lead her away, but eventually fled the scene with the student’s bag.
The next day a 21 year-old woman was grabbed in nearby Ridgmount Gardens and threatened with a knife.
She was forced into Chenies Mews and sexually assaulted at knifepoint.
Officers believe the same person carried out these attacks and are hunting a black man, aged between 22 and 25 years and clean-shaven.
During the robbery he wore a baggy, dark, faded, charcoal-coloured hooded top and the following day he wore a black leather or waterproof bomber-style jacket with a hood.
Anyone with information about these incidents or who recognises the man in the CCTV is urged to contact the Metropolitan Police’s Sapphire Unit on 020 7421 0282, alternatively, to remain anonymous, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
