A GIRL aged just 14 was grabbed from behind and attacked as she walked through Crystal Palace Park.

The young teen was walking from the bus garage to Anerley Hill in the early hours of Saturday morning, April 18, when she was grabbed and thrown to the ground.

A man attempted to pull the victim’s trousers down, having pulled his own down, but was disturbed by a passer-by. The suspect then ran off towards the train station.

Police are appealing for information to try trace the man who is black, in his 30s, around 5ft 6inc tall and was wearing a blue hoodie and blue or black adidas tracksuit bottoms.

Police also want to speak to a white man in his 40s who disturbed the attacker and may have seen the incident.

Anyone with any information should contact DC Marie Hill at Bromley CID on 020 8284 8859 or crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
