Detectives are releasing an image of a man they want to speak to after three incidents in which women were followed in south London in the early hours of the morning.
At around 22:50hrs on Tuesday, 10 October, a man approached a woman as she was entering an address on Barrington Road, Brixton. After a short struggle she was able to fight him off and he left the area.
On Friday, 17 November a woman was walking on Sisters Avenue, SW11 at around 04:00hrs when she noticed a man following her. As he got close, she began to shout and he ran away.
The third incident took place on Sumburgh Road, SW12 at around 01:40hrs on Sunday, 19 November. The man approached the woman and grabbed her but she managed to escape.
Officers are treating the incidents as linked. The suspect is described as white, between 25-30 years old, of slim build and with short blonde hair.
