Police are appealing for information on an unsolved case after a student claimed she was seriously sexually assaulted in New Cross.

The incident happened in the early hours of Sunday, March 4, when a 20-year-old woman walked home from the Amersham Arms Pub in New Cross Road.

Police say she lost her friend on the way home, and woke up on a concrete floor of a building site with a man on top of her.

She had no memory of how she got there and believes she was drugged.

When the student asked the suspect to stop what he was doing, he did and walked her home.

Police were called when she got back to her house.

Officers from Met Police have released an image of the person they would like to speak to in connection with the alleged attack.
