Police
have released this e-fit of a knifepoint robber, who attacked a lone
woman at a bus stop in the early hours of the morning.
The
31 year-old victim was waiting for a bus in Boundary Road, near the
junction with Finchley Road, South Hampstead at 5.55am on September
20, last year.
A
young light-skinned black male suddenly approached and uneasy
at the sudden presence of the suspect, the victim moved away from
him.
The
suspect waited under the bus shelter for a few moments before lunging
towards the victim with a knife in his hands.
He
held the knife to the victims' upper body and demanded that she hand
over her possessions.
Fearing
for her safety the victim handed over her bag containing her mobile,
purse and other items.
The
suspect then fled the scene running off down Boundary Road.
The
victim was so shaken by the robbery she only felt comfortable calling
police once she had reached the safety of her home.
The
suspect is described as a black man, aged between 17 to 21-years old,
approximately 5ft 8ins tall and of skinny build.
He
was wearing a loose-fitting, dark-coloured jacket with a hood and
dark jeans.
He
also is said to have a deep voice.
Detective
Constable Jonathan Bradshaw said:
"This was a frightening incident on a lone woman as she was
making her way home.
“Despite
this happening some months ago the victim still remains shaken by the
incident and is fearful of being out by herself.
"The
robbery took place on the borders between Westminster and Camden and
I believe that the man responsible is possibly someone who lives
locally or knows the area quite well.
"We're
keen to hear from anyone who recognises the man in the e-fit or
anyone who has any information that could assist us with our
inquiry."
Anyone
with any information is asked to contact Westminster CID on 101 or
Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
