Five-year-old girl sexually assaulted in north London playground

Police are investigating reports that a five-year-old girl was sexually assaulted in a north London park.

The incident took place while the child was out with a relative at Highgate  Wood, in Muswell Hill Road on Sunday afternoon, police said.

When she went home she said she did not feel well, before telling her mother she was sexually assaulted by an unknown man at the playground.

The girl was taken to a north London hospital and the police were called. No injuries were reported.

A spokesman for the Met said no arrests have been made and enquiries continue. Any witnesses or anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101.

Information can also be reported anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or online at www.crimestoppers-uk.org
