Police are hunting a pervert who sexually assaulted a female worker at a spa in east London.

The man entered the spa sometime between 12.40 and 1.20pm on Friday, 16 December and requested a massage.

But police said he then exposed himself to the member of staff before sexually assaulting her.

The man, who was carrying a dark rucksack, quickly fled the spa following the incident.

Police have now released a CCTV image of a man they wish to question in connection with the alleged sexual assault.

He is described as of Asian appearance, about 6ft tall and has a slim build with dark hair.

He was wearing a white shirt, dark suit trousers, a light coloured jacket and trainers on the day of the incident.

Anyone who recognises the man shown in the image or who has information that could assist the investigation is asked to contact Tower Hamlets police via 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Alternatively, you can tweet information via @MetCC.
