A man is being sought by police officers investigating an alleged sexual assault at a club in central London.

At about 02:30 GMT on 26 April, the victim was in KU Bar and Klub on Lisle Street in Leicester Square, the Met said.

The woman, aged in her 20s, was speaking to a man when he reportedly leant forward and bit her on the chest. She did not require hospital treatment.

The force said the man, who left the club shortly after, was described as being aged in his 40s and spoke with what the victim described as a "European accent".

The Met said the CCTV image of the man was circulated to police officers for some time before a decision was made to launch a public appeal.
