He is described as a white male, aged 30-40, and around 5ft 8in tall.
He was wearing a grey hooded top with a black body warmer, blue jeans and grey trainers and is said to have a London accent.
Detectives from the Met’s sexual offences, exploitation and abuse command are investigating.
Any witnesses or anyone with any information should call 0208 733 5999, or to give information anonymously contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. There have been no arrests and enquiries continue.
