Police hunt armed rapist

A year after a 51-year-old woman was raped at knifepoint in Kenton, police are still desperately trying to hunt her attacker.

On February 26, last year, the victim was assaulted in broad daylight on the railway footbridge leading to Kenton Recreation Ground.

The attacker, believed to be between 20 and 30 years old, is said to have struck between noon and 12.30pm but a helicopter pursuit at the time was unable to locate him.

Now, 12 months on, police have revisited the site in the hope that they can encourage any new witnesses to come forward and solve the crime.

A month after the incident police released CCTV stills to the Observer of a black man they wanted to contact in connection with the attack.

The man, who can be seen in the pictures wearing a beige hat and wheeling a woman's light coloured bike through Kenton Station, is thought to have caught a southbound Bakerloo Line train before getting off at North Wembley.

The footage shows him at the station roughly 90 minutes after the attack.

Anyone with any information can call Harrow Police on 020 8733 4340 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
