Police say a sex attacker who has targeted children as young as 11-years-old on separate occasions has struck again. Detectives have linked attacks on victims – some schoolchildren – across south east London. In every case the attacker has been described as having a long skinny face and blonde hair, and approached the victim and touched them, before running away. He previously attacked three girls aged 11, four girls aged 13 and two women aged 25 and 27.

Detectives have previously released CCTV images of a man seen in Honor Oak Road who they want to identify. Following the latest attack, the suspect was described as white, tall, approximately 50 years old, with light blond hair.
