A 14-year-old girl was raped in a park in a broad daylight horror attack, police say.

The "vulnerable" teenager was allegedly attacked by a stranger in a "secluded area" of Avery Hill Park in Greenwich, London, last week.

An investigation has since been launched, with detectives appealing for information and witnesses to the "horrendous attack" to come forward.

The Met Police's Child Abuse and Sexual Offences Command has released CCTV images of a man they wish to speak to in connection with the incident.

The girl, who cannot be legally named, was allegedly attacked in the park, off Avery Hill Road SE9, between 9am and 1pm on Monday, September 4.

In a statement this morning, the Met said: "The victim has visited a haven and is being supported by specialist officers.

"The Met's Child Abuse and Sexual Offences Command are investigating, and are releasing CCTV stills of a man they want to speak to in connection with this incident.

"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."

There have been no arrests and enquiries continue, police said.

DC Mark Azariah, of 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.

"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."
