Detectives investigating the rape of a woman in west London have released an e-fit of a man they are working to identify.
A woman was walking alone along Bradiston Road, in Maida Vale, when a car – believed to be a dark-coloured Audi A3 – stopped at the junction ahead of her.
A man pushed her from behind into the vehicle, and drove away with the woman inside, before later raping her, the Metropolitan Police said.
The woman was then pushed back out of the car, near to where she had initially been bundled into the vehicle.
The incident happened at around 9pm one evening in March 2022.
The police force has released an e-fit of the man they want to trace.
He has been described as tall, in his late 30s, with short dreadlocks, a “significant” scar on his face, and as having a Jamaican accent.
