A 14-year-old girl was raped in broad daylight during a "horrendous" attack in a public park.

Investigators said the teenager was assaulted in a secluded area of Avery Hill Park in Greenwich, southeast London, between 9am and 1pm on Monday 4 September.

Officers have released CCTV images of the man they want to speak to in connection with the incident.

A police spokesman said: "The attacker is described as a black male believed to be in his 20s, of slim build, with short black hair and a moustache.

"He was wearing sand-coloured combat trousers, dark shoes which might have been blue, and a grey drawstring bag.


"He was also wearing sunglasses with black, round lenses."

The victim is being supported by specialist officers and no arrests have been made, according to the police.

DC Mark Azariah, from the Child Abuse and Sexual Offences Command, said: "This was a horrendous attack on a vulnerable girl in the middle of the day.

"If you were in and around the area and saw anyone matching the description of the suspect or saw anything suspicious I would urge you to get in touch with my team.

"Likewise, if you have information about the man wanted for questioning as a result of the images released today, my team are waiting for your call."
