Police are hunting a serial flasher who made his getaway on roller skates.

Detectives are investigating the claim the man approached women, while on roller skates, before exposing himself or touching himself inappropriately.

On all but one occasion, the man approached women who were walking on their own.

According to the police, the man did so on seven separate occasions between December 4, 2021 and January 26, 2022.

Detectives have released an e-fit of the offender, described as a white man, approximately 6ft tall with a bald head.

One attack just after midnight on January 7 took place yards from the five-star hotels on Park Lane overlooking Hyde Park.

The first happened at 1am on Grove End Road in St John’s Wood near Lord’s Cricket Ground.

He also indecently exposed himself in Oval Road, close to Regent’s Canal; Goods Way and Charlton Street, a short distance from King’s Cross and St Pancras International stations in Camden; Praed Street, near Paddington Tube and rail hub and Wapping Woods, east London.
