A computer-generated image of a man wanted in relation to a sexual assault in Sevenoaks has been released by police.

At about midday on Wednesday, 23 September a woman was walking along Bradbourne Vale Road when a man asked if she could help him with a child who was ill.

The woman accompanied the man to St John's Road where a white van was parked with an open side door.

The van is described as having a silver-coloured tarnished roof rack.

It is said the man then pushed the woman into the back of the vehicle before climbing in, closing the door and committing an indecent act in front of her.

The victim ran away after the man opened the door.

The suspect is described as white, in his mid-40s, 5ft 8in, of stocky build with receding shaved hair and stubble.

'Check your dashcam footage'

He was wearing a green and blue T-shirt with a black emblem on the front, baggy faded jeans with a hole in one of the knees and trainers.

DI Matt Burdekin said: "We would like to hear from anyone who might recognise the man pictured or from anybody who was in the area at the time of the incident who has not yet spoken to the police.

"We are also urging motorists who may have been driving through this part of Sevenoaks to check for any dashcam footage which may assist our investigation.

"In addition we are asking residents to check home security CCTV or doorbell cameras."

Anyone with information should call Kent Police on 01622 604100, quoting crime reference 46/170718/20.

Alternatively contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously by calling 0800 555111.
