Police have launched a manhunt after a woman was followed into a basement in east London and raped.
The Met released an image of a suspect on Tuesday, following the attack in Whitechapel on November 9.
The 22-year-old was approached by a man in Hanbury Street at about 2.10am, police said.
Scotland Yard said the suspect followed her into a building before raping her in the basement of the address.
He left about 20 minutes later.
Police said the suspect is described as a black man aged between 25 and 35 years.
He wore a dark coloured body warmer, which he left behind at the scene of the attack, along with a grey hat. He was then pictured in a grey jumper after the attack.
The victim is currently being supported by specially trained officers.
There have been no arrests as officers continue to investigate.
