Sexual Assault
Bexley Police are appealing information and witnesses to a serious sexual assault.
The incident took place in Bridge Road at the junction with Northend Road, Slade Green on Sunday 15th April 2007.
At approximately 8.10 am, the 28 year-old female victim was sitting on a wall within the boundaries of a fenced grassed area to the left hand side of AJ & Son Mini Market in Slade Green Road. A male, unknown to the victim, approached her. She was then attacked and sexually assaulted behind the 6ft fencing.
The investigation is being led by Bexley Police Sapphire Unit.
Investigating Officer, PC Ian Stuart said, “This is an unprovoked attack on a lone female who put up a significant struggle against her attacker. We have viewed CCTV from the vicinity of where the incident took place. A number of people walked passed the area and entered the mini market and may have heard something or seen the attacker. If you were in the area between 8.10 and 8.30 am, I urge you make to contact with the Sapphire Unit. All calls will be treated in the strictest confidence.”
Anyone who saw, heard or has any information about this serious sexual assault should contact the Sapphire Team on 020 8284 9261 or to remain anonymous call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or the Bexley Crime Hotline on 020 8284 9234.
