Police are releasing images of a person they would like to identify as they re-appeal for information as part of an ongoing investigation into a serious assault in Waltham Cross.
At around 7.45pm on Monday 30 December a woman got off the number 217 bus at the bus station and walked through the town centre towards Berkley Avenue. After walking through an alleyway, she was grabbed by a man who assaulted her before he was disturbed by members of the public.
The bus that the victim and suspect used had travelled from Turnpike Lane to Waltham Cross, passing through areas of London including Tottenham and Enfield meaning the suspect may have links to these areas.
It is believed the man may have been on the bus and followed the woman from the bus station.
The victim, who is 19, suffered serious injuries which required hospital treatment.
Detective Sergeant Paul Dicker, of the Broxbourne Local Crime Unit, said: “We have followed many lines of enquiry during this investigation, and we are now releasing these images, we believe the person pictured was in the area around the time and may have vital information for our investigation.
“Is this you? Or do you recognise the person pictured? If so, please get in contact.
“We understand news of this incident will have caused concern in the community and we are working to identify this person. In addition, no further incidents of this nature have since been reported in the town.”
You can report information online, speak to an operator in our Force Communications Room via our online web chat or call the non-emergency number 101, quoting crime reference Op Belmont.
