Police hunting a late-night rapist, who pounced on a teenager in a Thameside park in London’s West End, have released a CCTV image of their suspect.
Detectives from the Metropolitan Police’s Central West safeguarding team are appealing to the public for information.
A young woman in her late teens reported being raped in Victoria Embankment Gardens, Villiers Street in the early hours of Friday, August 16, last year.
Villiers street is near Charing Cross station and is home to several bars and restaurants and would still be busy at that time of night.
A member of the public came across the victim after she had been raped and assisted her before police were contacted.
The Met’s team have asked the public to call 07584 593 393 if they they recognise the suspect, quoting CAD1003/16AUG19 or contact them on the non-emergency 101.
Alternatively independent charity Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111.
On the same day as the complaint a 30 year-old man was arrested on suspicion of rape.
He was questioned and released under investigation.
