Police are hunting a man who stabbed a woman as she stood alone near a bus stop in east London.
The 32-year-old woman was knifed beside a busy road at around 10.55pm in what police suggest was a “random attack on a lone woman” in Chadwell Heath.
She was rushed to hospital for treatment after the attack in High Road, at the junction with Albany Road, and was later discharged.
Police are urging witnesses to come forward with information about the stabbing on November 30 and have released an E-fit of the suspect.
He is described as a white man, aged in his early 30s, with a ginger beard and glasses. He wore a dark-coloured jacket, trousers and a baseball cap, Scotland Yard said.
Appealing for information, Acting Detective Inspector Dean Grafton from the East Area Command Unit said: “This appears to have been a random attack on a lone woman.
“I would urge anyone who recognises the man in the E-fit to contact us as a matter of urgency. I would also like to hear from anyone who was in the area at the time and who may have seen a man running from the scene.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact officers via 101 quoting reference 8999/30Nov or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
