Urgent hunt for delivery driver ‘with large nose’ after man, 30s, raped in quiet street in horror sex attack

COPS have launched an urgent hunt for a delivery rider after a man was raped on a quiet street.

The victim was attacked by a man, who was riding a bike, at around midnight on October 4 in Hesper Mews, Earl's Court, London.

The alleged rapist was carrying a food delivery bag on his back and is described as being in his 20s, white, with black hair.

He is also described as having "a distinctive large angular nose" and wore all black clothing.

The Metropolitan Police said he spoke to the victim for a few minutes before launching his assault.

He then fled the scene on a bike out of Hesper Mews and turned into Bramham Gardens.

The force have released a CCTV image of the man "they wish to trace".

A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said: "Detectives have now released a CCTV image of the man they wish to trace inside a nearby shop and are urging anyone who recognises him to come forward.

"They are also appealing for anyone who lives in Hesper Mews, or who was there in the early hours of Friday, 4 October, to think carefully about whether they might have seen or heard anything unusual.

"Anyone who has CCTV or doorbell cameras and who hasn’t yet spoken to officers is asked to check them to make sure nothing of note has been captured."
