Police are searching for a man after a woman was sexually assaulted at a cinema in north London.

A woman in her 30s reported she had been seriously sexually assaulted at a cinema in South Hampstead at around 3.45pm on Wednesday, the Met Police said.

The victim is currently being supported by specialist officers.

Detectives have now released an image of a man they want to speak to following the attempted rape.

The man is believed to have left the venue following the incident - walking towards Swiss Cottage.

He is thought to be in his 50s, is around 5ft 6in tall and has a slim build.

The Met said he has dark hair on the sides of his head and he was captured on CCTV wearing a North Face coat and glasses following the alleged offence on Wednesday, June 11.
