Police
are hunting this suspect after a young woman was followed and
pestered for sex in Camberwell by a man who also exposed himself.
The
19 year-old was shopping in Camberwell Road at 8.45pm on January 28
when she noticed a man staring at her through the window of the
convenience store.
As
she left the shop, the man approached her and tried to engage her in
conversation.
The
woman ignored him and walked away, but he followed her and began
asking where she lived.
The
woman was alarmed by this and the man then stated he wanted to have
sex with her.
She
responded by telling him to get away from her.
The
woman walked along Burgess Park and into Addington Square when she
became aware that she was being followed by the man.
At
the junction with Rust Square, which was well lit, she made the
decision to bravely confront the suspect and film him so that he
would leave her alone.
She
then noticed he had exposed himself.
At
this point the woman threw water over the man, left the area and then
called police.
The
suspect is described as a dark-skinned black man, aged approximately
25 to 30 years-old, 5ft 6ins tall and of medium build.
He
was bald on the top of his head and the remaining hair was very
short.
He
was wearing a grey hooded top under a dark coloured jacket, black
tracksuit trousers and black trainers.
He
spoke with what has been described as a ‘local accent’.
Detective
Constable Nicky Dixon, said:
"This was a very frightening incident, on a young woman who was
picked out by a man who then followed, harassed and then exposed
himself to her.
“She
acted bravely and confronted him, and thankfully he left. We need to
find and arrest this man and I am appealing to the public to assist.”
Any
witnesses or anyone with any information is asked to call police on
101 or contact via Twitter @MetCC. Quote CAD 7332/28JAN19.
