Police want to speak to this man after a woman was dragged into a garden and sexually assaulted in Kentish Town.
The victim, in her 30s, was walking along Kentish Town Road at about 1.45am on Saturday, December 5, when a man started following her.

When the woman turned into Leighton Road, the man got in front of her and pushed her against a parked van before sexually assaulting her.
When she tried to escape, the suspect dragged her into a nearby garden and sexually assaulted her again.
He ran off when the victim pulled out her mobile phone.
The woman suffered bruising but was not seriously injured.
