Police release e-fit after woman attacked by young men trying to steal her bag
Police investigating an assault and attempted robbery on a woman have released an e-fit of a young man they want to identify.
The woman was attacked at 1.30pm on September 28, while she was walking along Brownhill Road in Catford, heading towards Hither Green.
She was approached by two young men. One of them tried to grab her bag. When she refused to let him have it, he headbutted her.
Police have said the suspect is believed to be between 16 and 18 years old.
Police Constable Hayley Sheehan said: “This was a very distressing incident for the woman involved.
“We have been investigating the offence but unfortunately so far we have not identified a suspect.
“Please look at this image carefully. Could you have been in the location on September 28?
“Do you live or work in the area and do you recognise this young man?
“If you would rather contact us anonymously you can do so via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or online at crimestoppers-uk.org.
“Please share any information or concerns you have with us as it could be the break in the case we are looking for.”
A spokesman for the Met said: “Anyone with information which could assist detectives in this investigation is asked to call 101, quoting 4268/28SEP23.”
