Police are hunting a man after a woman was followed into a narrow street before being forced to the ground and raped in a terrifying attack.

The 21-year-old was walking home from a night out wearing headphones when she was attacked in a mews street in north London.

She was physically assaulted “multiple times” before being tripped and raped, police said.

Detective Constable Alastair Semple said: "This was a horrific attack on a woman who was heading home after a night out with her friends.”

The victim had attended a concert at the Electric Ballroom in Camden, where Australian metal band Northlane had been due to play, before leaving for a nearby pub.

One her way back from the pub in Camden High Street, she was attacked in Camden Mews in the early hours of Sunday, November 26.

After raping the woman, the suspect ran off in an unknown direction, according to detectives.

Police have now issued an e-fit of a man they want to speak to in connection with the attack.

He is described as white, aged 25-35, with dark hair and a moustache and possibly speaking with a Manchester accent.

DC Semple added: “I would urge anyone with information to contact police and help us track down the person responsible.”

Anyone with any information is asked to call police on 101. Alternatively contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
