British Transport Police have launched a desperate hunt after a brutal rape at Leatherhead rail station in Surrey. Detectives released shocking CCTV footage of the suspect as they race to catch the attacker.
Late-Night Horror Shakes Commuters
The chilling assault happened around 11pm on 23 August. The young victim was walking through an alley near Leatherhead station when a man approached and started talking to her. Without warning, he struck her on the back of the head and raped her.
Even more terrifying, the attacker and victim then boarded a London-bound train together. They both got off at Cheam station, where the victim was found lying by the roadside just before midnight, spotted by a passer-by.
Police Plea: Spot the Suspect?
“This was an abhorrent attack targeting a young woman late at night,” said Detective Sergeant Andrew Winters. “The victim has been receiving specialist support as our investigation continues, and we are appealing to the public to assist our efforts to track down the man responsible.”
“If you know the man in the CCTV images, please contact us, as we believe he may be able to help us with our ongoing enquiries.”
