A "manipulative and nasty" rapist who lured a tourist across London before attacking her at a railway station has been jailed.
Salah Koubar, 20, tricked the victim into following him on a series of bus journeys from a bustling Soho bar to West Dulwich station, lying about where he was taking her.
After striking up conversation on a night out in Wardour Street, Koubar convinced the 29-year-old to catch a bus with him, claiming he was taking her to Westminster. Instead he led her in the direction of Brixton.
When the woman became uneasy, Koubar grabbed her phone and handbag and forced her onto another bus.
She managed to grab her belongings and fled the bus - deep in south London – but was followed by her rapist who then viciously attacked her.
Koubar was arrested two days later after police scoured CCTV videos.
He denied the assault and was found guilty at Blackfriars Crown Court last month.
The Sudanese national, who lives in Densole Close in Beckenham, was jailed for seven years on Friday.
Senior investigating officer Detective Inspector Ian Trantum, said: "Koubar is a manipulative and nasty individual who deliberately exploited the victim's vulnerability and unfamiliarity of the city.
"He led her away from the busy city centre and raped her where he knew it would be quiet."
