E-fit issued after woman assaulted in Westbourne Park

Officers investigating an incident of indecent exposure and assault have issued an e-fit of a man they want to identify.

The incident happened on 19 October 2023 at around 23:30hrs as two women were walking home from Westbourne Park tube station. As they walked towards Tavistock Crescent, W11 they noticed a man in front of them who was performing a sex act.

The man began to follow them and as the women arrived in St Ervans Road, W10 he grabbed one of them and pulled her to the ground. He then ran off from the scene.

Detective Constable Anne-Marie Wright leads the investigation and said:

"Thankfully neither woman was seriously injured but the incident obviously left them extremely shaken. We are issuing this e-fit in the hope someone will recognise this man. If you can help please get in contact immediately."
