Detectives would like to speak to a man after the alleged rape of a woman who was attacked in an alleyway in London.

The woman was reportedly raped in the alley off a street in Stratford, East London on Thursday evening. Now Metropolitan Police detectives investigating the attack released CCTV of a man they wish to speak to.

The woman, aged in her 20s, contacted police to report the attack after it happened at around 6.50pm on Thursday, she said. She's now being supported by specially-trained officers after her ordeal.

A man is pictured in footage stills wearing a black tracksuit and beige cap. Met detectives described him as tall and slim and aged in his 20s.

Detective Constable Ben Dailey, who is working on the investigation, said: "We have carried out a number of enquiries, including recovering CCTV from around the area. As a result of this, we are releasing two images of a man we would like to identify. I would ask anyone who recognises him to come forward immediately."
