Crime reporter(es/wp):
A woman was raped in a "shocking" attack by a stranger who had climbed over a fence and into a back garden, police said.
Detectives said the woman, in her 30s, was dragged to the ground as she tried to flee her attacker in Dagenham
She was then allegedly raped by a man who ran away after the attack.
Police today released an e-fit image of a man wanted in connection with the rape in the early hours of Monday, August 1.
The suspect is described as a "very dark-skinned black man, 5ft 6ins to 5ft 8ins in height, of medium build and aged in his early to mid 20s."
He is said to have smelled "unwashed" and had a poor, spotty complexion.
DC Jay Gardner, from the Met's sexual offences unit, said: "This is a shocking attack which has left the victim very distressed.
"We are now issuing this e-fit image and urging the public to help us identify this man. If you think you may know the man depicted in the e-fit, please do call us.
"Substantial enquiries have been conducted with the local community but we urge anyone who may have been in the area at this time to come forward."
There have been no arrests.
