Police are appealing for witnesses and information following a series of sexual assaults that have taken place in the vicinity of Shoreditch Park, N1.
Officers are investigating three incidents that have taken place on 15, 16 and 18 June – on each occasion a woman has been approached by a man and sexually assaulted. None of the women have been physically harmed.
On 18 June a 27-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and remains in police custody.
Detective Constable Francesca Clarke of Central East CID said:
“While we are aware of three incidents that have taken place within four days, there is a distinct possibility that more offences have taken place but have not been reported.
“I would urge any women who have been in the vicinity of Shoreditch Park and have been approached and sexually assaulted by a man described as Black, around 5ft 10 inches tall and of heavy build to get in contact immediately.”
Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101 or tweet @MetCC and quote CAD3148/16June. You can also provide information anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
