This is an e-fit of the man detectives are seeking following the attempted rape of a woman in Queen’s Park.

The victim, who is 38, was walking along Okehampton Road, on November 25 at around 5.30pm when she saw a man walking towards her and as he passed, he suddenly grabbed her around the neck and dragged her into a front garden.

The attacker then tried to rape the woman but she managed to escape his grasp and run off to safety, before reporting the incident to police.

The suspect is described as white, aged 18-25 and about 5ft 9ins tall, with short blond hair cut in a “curtains” style.

He is described as having an eastern European accent and was wearing a black fleece, blue jeans and white trainers.

Acting Detective Inspector Peter Walker, of the Met Police’s Sexual Offences, Exploitation and Child Abuse Command, said:“It has been a week since this terrifying attack on the victim, who luckily managed to escape before she was raped, and we continue to appeal for witnesses and anyone with information to come forward.

“Do you recognise the face on the e-fit? If you have any information please contact us.”

Anyone who can help is asked to call officers on 020 8733 3393 or to remain anonymous, Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
