Police are appealing for witnesses and information following an assault in Woolwich.

At least three incidents have been reported during April 2024, in similar locations close to Langton Green and Rusthall.

At around 1.20pm on Friday 12 April, a woman was walking along a footpath between Rusthall Road and Langton Road when she saw a man on the outskirts of woodland. It is alleged he was committing an indecent act. A similar incident was reported to have taken place at 10.15am on Wednesday 24 April. This was witnessed by a woman walking along a footpath close to a cricket pitch and Coach Road.

Officers are linking a third offence, on Tuesday 30 April, to the same suspect. This happened at around 2pm, as a woman was walking in a location close to the previous incidents. The suspect was in his 30s and had a beard. He was wearing a blue baseball cap, grey sweatshirt and dark shorts. He appeared to be wearing a brace or support on his right knee.

Investigating officers are reviewing local CCTV in the area and urging residents to also check any private security cameras for important footage. Drivers who may have been in these areas when the offences were committed are also asked to review any dashcams.

Anyone with information which may assist the investigation should contact Kent Police on 01622 604100, quoting reference 46/59473/24. You can also call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111 or by using the online form.
