Police have launched a manhunt after a woman was sexually assaulted near Aldgate, east London.
City of London Police have released a photo of a man, taken around the time of the attack in the early hours of April 19, who they wish to speak to.
Detective Inspector Anna Rice said the assault, which took place at about 2am, was “incredibly distressing for the victim”.
“We are urging anyone who recognises the man in the picture we have issued today to contact police,” she said.
“We do not believe the perpetrator of this attack knew the victim and instead, targeted her randomly.
“It is important we apprehend the individual responsible for this attack as soon as possible before they commit another offence.”
DI Rice said they believed the man could help “further our enquiries.”
Anyone with information is asked to call 0207 601 2122.
