E-fit appeal after woman attacked as she walked home from west London Tube station

Two women have been left "extremely shaken" after a man performed a sex act in the street before pulling one of them to the ground in west London.

The pair were walking home from Westbourne Park Tube station at around 11.30pm on October 19 when the incident of indecent exposure and assault happened, the Metropolitan Police has said.

As they walked towards Tavistock Crescent they noticed a man in front of them who was performing a sex act.

He began to follow them and as the women arrived at St Ervans Road he grabbed one of them and pulled her to the ground. 

He then ran off from the scene.

Officers have issued an e-fit of a man they want to identify.

Detective Constable Anne-Marie Wright 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.”
