Four teenage girls are being hunted after a woman was punched to the ground and kicked in a north London urban park.
The victim, aged in her twenties, suffered bruising to her legs and neck and shoulder pain.
Police from the Central East Command Unit have released his CCTV image of the suspects.
At approximately 7.30pm on Thursday, February 27, the woman was walking through Shoreditch Park, Hoxton with her shopping.
She was surrounded by four teenage girls she had never seen before.
They punched the victim in the face, beat her, and kicked her as she fell to the floor and attempted to steal her belongings.
A passing cyclist spotted the group and shouted at them and they fled the scene.
The group ran off down Grange Street before crossing Pitfield Street into a housing estate.
Detective Constable Michael Beskine said: “This was an awful, unprovoked attack and has left the victim shaken and angry by what happened.
“I have conducted extensive enquiries, but now I am asking the public to come forward and help me.
“I want to make sure that those responsible are caught and do not inflict this sort of pain on someone else.
“If you know something, please come forward. It was a horrible assault on someone who had never laid eyes on her attackers before.
“Tackling violence continues to be the Met's top priority.
“We will continue to work tirelessly to identify and pursue offenders, help bring perpetrators to justice, support victims, and keep our communities safe.”
Anyone with information should call police on 101 or contact Crimestoppersanonymously on 0800 555 111.
