Story summary

Met Police detectives have offered a £10,000 reward for information leading to the identification of a suspect in an attempted rape that occurred near midnight on Church Road in north London. The incident took place around 3:20 AM when a man began walking alongside and harassing the victim before dragging her into a building's entrance where he assaulted and attempted to rape her. Alexa Loukas, London Regional Manager at Crimestoppers, emphasized the distressing nature of the attack on the victim and urged anyone with potential information to come forward. The suspect is described as being of average build, between 5ft 8ins and 6ft tall, with short hair or a shaved head, wearing a distinctive tie-dye T-shirt featuring blue and pink streaks. Detective Chief Inspector Paul Ridley highlighted the ongoing support for the victim by specialist officers but noted that identifying the suspect is crucial to bringing justice.
