HALLOWEEN ATTACK

Halloween Night sexual assualt on 14 year old girl near Ravenscourt Park



These youths began pestering the girls and surrounded them. As this was happening a black car pulled up and the five youths ran off. These boys could hold vital information and it is imperative that they contact police immediately.

The male driver of the car got out and suggested he took the girls to a place of safety. The victims willingly entered the car however, the man then produced a flick knife and centrally locked the doors so they were unable to escape. Having driven the girls a few yards westbound down Kings Street, the suspect parked in Ravenscourt Avenue.

He threatened both girls before dragging the 14 year old down Ravenscourt Avenue towards the entrance of Ravenscourt Park where he raped her. The victims were then driven back to where they had been picked up and dumped. The victims were then found by a friends mother who had gone looking for them.

The suspect is described as a well spoken white male, approx. 40 years old, 5'8"-5'10" tall of muscular build with brown eyes and brown greying hair. He was well dressed in a black suit, white shirt and black tie; he was also wearing shiney black leather shoes and a silver metal bracelet on his left wrist.

The suspects car is described as a black coloured 'top end of the market executive style' car with blacked out windows. It had cream and beige leather upholstery and a silver trim on the exterior windows. The car is also believed to be a four-door automatic.

DC Mike Duncan of Hammersmith CID who is leading the investigation said: "This was a horrendous assault on a very young girl. It is particularly disturbing that the man they looked upon as a good Samaritan used the situation for his own depraved attack. The abduction of these two girls in a busy west London street highlights the danger and children should never get into a strangers car for whatever reason. The assistance of the public is vital in this case and I appeal to anyone with information which can help us to catch this man to come forward as soon as possible".

Anyone with any information is asked to contact Hammersmith CID on 020 8246 2613 or if you wish to remain anonymous call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
