Police hunt serial sex attacker preying on women in west London as officers release CCTV footage

The Metropolitan Police has released CCTV footage of a man they wish to speak to in connection with a series of sexual assaults in west London.

Multiple women, aged between 47 and 74, have reported being sexually assaulted in the Eastcote area of Hillingdon between Friday, January 24, and Sunday, June 15, allegedly by the same man. Every incident occurred during the day, police said.

The man is alleged to have engaged in physical and verbal sexual abuse, as well as harassment and stalking.

He is said to have followed several women walking outside, shouting inappropriate remarks at them, before blocking their route and sexually assaulting them.

The alleged man has been described as black, approximately 5’8, with a slim build. He appears very well spoken and is thought to be aged between 15 and 21.

He has worn a black rucksack during three of the incidents and often wears dark coloured clothing.

Detectives are looking to hear from anyone who believes they saw – or know - this man.

Those with information should contact 101, quoting investigation reference 01/7092055/25.
