Detectives from the Met Police are appealing for witnesses after a woman was sexually assaulted by a cyclist at Kidbrooke Railway Station.

The victim, who is in her 20s, was walking along a pathway that leads to the station underpass at 8.45am on Monday (June 25) when a cyclist rode past and sexually assaulted her from behind.

The man then cycled away when the woman started shouting at her, police said.

The suspect is described as a skinny, white male with dark blond hair, and had two of his front teeth missing.

He was wearing a dark grey or black hooded top with a bare chest underneath and riding a blue bike with white writing on it and white front forks.

Detective Constable Alexandra Johnson, from the Met’s Child Abuse and Sexual Offences team, said: "This was a despicable opportunist assault on a young woman walking down a path during the morning rush hour.

"We have a good description of the distinctive suspect and his bike. If you have information on who he is, I would urge you to get in touch.

"I would also like to reassure those who use this path that patrols have stepped up in and around the area and CCTV footage of the area is being studies to help catch the suspect."

Any witnesses or anyone who recognises the description of this male should contact DC Alexandra Johnson on 020 8721 4653 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
