Barnet Police are looking for a man who sexually assaulted a 15-year-old girl in North Finchley last month.

The victim was attacked in a car between Yates's Wine Lodge and Argos in the High Road at 11.15pm on September 28.

The suspect is described as black, aged around 19, 5ft 7ins, of proportionate build, with black square-rimmed glasses.

He was wearing a black hooded jacket, dark tracksuit bottoms and white trainers.

Leading the investigation, Detective Constable Martin Redhead of Barnet Police said: "This was an horrific and frightening assault on a young girl. The street must have been quite busy at the time with people leaving pubs and restaurants.

"We need to speak to anyone who was in the area at the time and thinks they may have information, no matter how insignificant they think it may be, it could help us."

Anyone with information call Barnet Police on 020 8200 1212 and ask for the Community Safety Unit.
