An e-fit image of the suspect has been released
Detectives have issued an e-fit image of a suspect following a series of sexual assaults in north-east London.
The Metropolitan Police is investigating five reports of girls and women aged between 12 and 22 being sexually assaulted in Walthamstow.
The offences occurred between 17 January and 22 February in the area around Hoe Street and Wood Street, the force said.
The five victims continue to receive support, it added.
Det Con Lucie Johnson-Jones said: "We believe the suspect is in his late teens or early 20s and we are working to urgently identify him. Anyone who can help us do that should contact us immediately.
"These incidents are concerning and I recognise people in the area will be worried. We have stepped up patrols and are working with local schools to provide as much reassurance as we can."
She asked anyone with any information to contact the force.
