Police are trying to trace three young boys in connection with sexual assaults on a jogger and a teenage girl in Brockwell Park in south London.

The suspects are described as being as young as 10, with Trainee Detective Constable Jen Barley saying: “This is very unusual and aggressive behaviour by males of such a young age.”

A spokesman for the Met said on Monday, August 11 at approximately 6.30pm a 28-year-old woman was jogging in the park when she was approached by two boys on bicycles who grabbed her buttocks.

She confronted the boys and they shouted abuse of a violent sexual nature at her.

The second offence took place on Saturday, August 16 around 6pm, when three boys approached a 16-year-old girl, who was sitting in Brockwell Park with a friend, from behind.

The spokesman said: “One of the boys grabbed the 16-year-old’s breasts and groped her.

“The victim escaped his hold and stood up; the boy grabbed the victim again pulling her close to his body.

“She broke free and ran off. The boy then shouted abuse of a violent sexual nature at the victim and exposed himself.”

Officers in Lambeth Borough are appealing for the public’s help in identifying the boys wanted in connection with the sexual offences.

The first is described as a dark skinned Asian male of slim build, with short straight black hair, big brown eyes and has a London accent. He is about 5ft 3ins tall, aged 10 to 12-years-old and was wearing a grey zip-up hooded top and riding a dark bicycle.

The second is described as a black male of a slim build, with short black hair. He is about 5ft 3ins tall, also aged 10 to 12-years-old and has a London accent.

The third is described as a black male of a stocky build, with braided hair and a London accent. He is aged 11 to 13-years-old, and was riding a bicycle.

TDC Barley, the officer in the case, said: “I know of two members of the public that stopped and offered help to the victims.

“Please would anyone that stopped or saw what happened please get in contact with us.”
