Man sought after serious sexual offence in Lambeth flat lift

Detectives have released an e-fit image of a man they want to speak to in connection with a serious sexual offence allegedly committed against a woman in a lift in Lambeth.

The incident happened in a communal lift at a residential block in July 2017, the Met Police said.

The woman reported the incident to police in October 2023 and is now being supported by specially trained officers.

Detective Constable Beth Cuttell-Bladen, from the policing team that covers Lambeth, said: “Despite the time that has passed since the incident, the woman has been able to provide us with a detailed description of the man who attacked her in 2017.

“I would ask people to look at the E-FIT and see if they recognise this person – please contact us if you can help.

“No matter how long has elapsed since an incident like this, we will listen and support anyone who comes to us for help, and investigate where we can.”
