Police have released an e-fit of a man wanted in connection with the rape of a woman in Lee.

The attack happened in the early hours of March 8 when a 29-year-old woman was raped by a knife-wielding man on Ashwater Road.

The suspect, who fled in the direction of Baring Road, is described as a black man, 5ft 10ins and was wearing a blue hooded top, believed to be Adidas with stripes down the arm.

He was also wearing a sky blue bucket hat and black woollen fingerless gloves.

Detective Sergeant Corrado Di Mascio said: "This was a particularly nasty attack on a woman who was threatened with a knife being attacked in the street.

"I would urge anyone who recognises the man in the e-fit, or the description of the clothing to contact officers as a matter of urgency."

Anyone with information should call police on 020 8721 4676 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
