A young woman was dragged to the ground and sexually assaulted in a terrifying attack in south London.
The attacker fled the scene after the victim began screaming for help, alerting people nearby to what was happening.
The woman, aged in her 20s, was pulled to the floor and attacked outside a block of flats on Binfield Road in Stockwell in the early hours of Sunday morning.
She was set upon at around 4am before the attacker fled to Stockwell Tube station.
Specialist police are now supporting the victim as officers continue to investigate and appeal for witnesses and information.
DS Steve Elliott said police believe a number of people are thought to have been nearby at the time of the assault, which happened outside Strudwick Court.
He said: “We are urgently seeking to speak to any person who may have information in relation to this incident, or the identity of the assailant."
The suspect is described as a man around 5ft 5ins tall, tanned or “dark-skinned European” with dark hair.
Police said he is thought to be aged in his late 20s.
No one has yet been arrested.
