A woman was indecently assaulted when she went jogging on Putney Lower Common.
The 32 year old was next to some tennis courts on the grassy area in Rocks Lane at about 6pm last Monday when she passed a man who was acting strangely.
He followed her and hit her on the back and neck with some kind of weapon before wrestling her to the ground, punching and biting her and then indecently assaulting her.
The man, who ran off in the direction of Barnes Pond, is described as black, aged about 22, 5ft 8in, with short hair. He wore baggy blue jeans and a white shirt with faint blue checks.
Just before the attack the victim noticed a blonde woman who looked anxious. Police would like to speak to this woman as she may have information about the suspect.
Call Twickenham CID with any information on 020 8247 7019/7021 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
