Police have released CCTV images of a man believed to have carried out several sexual assaults in west London over a five-month period.

The attacker is said to have followed the women while they walked in Eastcote, Hillingdon, shouted inappropriate remarks at them before blocking their route and attacking them.

The victims, all aged between 47 and 74, said they were physically and verbally assaulted, harassed and stalked. The attacks happened between 24 January and 15 June, all during the day.

The Metropolitan Police described the suspect as black, 5ft 8" (1.75m), slim, well spoken and aged between 15 and 21. He often had dark clothing on and wore a backpack during three of the incidents.
