Woman pushed into car & raped while walking along street as cops share e-fit of man they ‘urgently need to trace’
A WOMAN was bundled into a car while walking down a street and raped – as cops share an e-fit of the man they “urgently need to trace”.
The victim was walking alone on Bradiston Road in Westminster on June 14, 2022, when her attacker pushed her into a car.
The dark coloured Audi A3 had stopped at a junction ahead of the victim at around 9pm.
A man forced her inside and drove away before raping her, the Metropolitan Police said.
The victim was then pushed from the car after the attack.
A Met Police spokesperson said: “On Tuesday, 14 June 2022, a woman reported walking alone along Bradiston Road, W9, when a car, believed to be a dark coloured Audi A3, stopped at the junction ahead of her.
“An unknown man pushed the woman from behind into the vehicle, then drove away with her inside before raping her.
“After the assault the woman was pushed back out of the vehicle not far from where she’d been picked up.
“The incident happened at 21:00hrs one evening in March 2022.
“Detectives have released an e-fit of the man they urgently need to trace.
“He was described as speaking with a Jamaican accent and believed to be in his late 30s, tall with short dreadlocks, and a significant facial scar.”
Detective Constable, Leon Riley, from the policing team covering Westminster, said: “If you recognise the man in the image please contact us without delay.
“We have been carrying out extensive enquiries since the incident and we continue to support the victim who, as far as possible, has been trying to live her life as normal since it happened.
“It was a horrifying ordeal for her and we thank her for supporting the investigation to trace the man responsible for assaulting her, and now helping us build an e-fit of the suspect.
“Women should be able to walk alone without fear and we are dedicated to protecting women and girls from predatory offenders such as this.
