This is the face of a man wanted in connection with a series of assaults on women in east London.

Police said the suspect is 6ft, of heavy build, targets women walking alone and touches them over their clothing. He has also been seen riding a bike.

Nine women have reported being sexually assaulted by the same man over five weeks in the Poplar, Limehouse and Canary Wharf areas of E14.

The attacks, many around Blackwall Way, took place between Thursday September 6 and Thursday October 11, between 6.30pm and 8.40pm.

Police have deployed extra patrols in the area and are warning women walking alone to be extra vigilant.

Anyone with information should call the Central East Command Unit on 101 or ring Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
