A 14-year-old girl was raped in a south-east London park in broad daylight.

The Metropolitan Police said the assault happened between 9am and 1pm on Monday September 4.

Officers have released images of a man they would like to speak to in connection with the incident.

A spokesman said: "The attacker is described as a black male believed to be in his 20s, of slim build, with short black hair and a moustache.

"He was wearing sand-coloured combat trousers, dark shoes which might have been blue, and a grey drawstring bag.

"He was also wearing sunglasses with black, round lenses."

Police said the victim was being supported by specialist officers and said no arrests had been made.
