An e-fit has been created of a sex attacker Met Police officers are urgently hunting for after he assaulted two women within 15 minutes on North London streets. The suspect is described by police as a skinny man, who at the time of the shocking attacks was wearing a light-coloured T-shirt, a dark bomber jacket and a dark baseball cap.
Both victims have estimated he is aged in his 30s. They were targeted on Sunday, March 9 while walking on streets in Islington just 0.4 miles apart.
At about 8.40pm a woman in her 20s reported being followed by a man down Cruikshank Street in Islington. The man sexually assaulted her, before walking away towards Great Percy Street.
Around the same time, another woman – also in her 20s – was walking along Britannia Street, Islington, when she was approached from behind by a man. He sexually assaulted her, then ran off down Wicklow Street.
No arrest has been made at this stage, though Met Police officers are treating the two incidents as linked. They are appealing to anybody who believes they saw a man matching the e-fit on Sunday, March 9 to come forward.
Anybody who witnessed either of the assaults – or who has potentially relevant information – should contact 101, quoting investigation reference 01/7265403/25.
