Police search for man who ‘bite woman in the chest’ at London nightclub | UK News

An urgent search has been launched for a man who bit a woman in the chest at a London nightclub.

A woman in her 20s was at a location in the heart of Chinatown when the man she was talking to suddenly leaned forward and bit her in the chest.

The man, who told the victim he was 42, then left the club shortly after.

The woman said he spoke with a “European accent” and police have now released CCTV footage of a man, who appears to be wearing a fedora, who she would also like to speak about.

They said: “Police are appealing for help to identify a man linked to a sexual assault in Westminster.

“At around 2.30am on April 26, the victim was at a nightclub in Lisle Street, WC2.

“The woman, aged in her 20s, was talking to a man when he leaned forward and bit her on the chest.

“The victim did not require hospital treatment.”

It comes as eight in ten young women reported experiencing sexual harassment or assault in London in the past two years, research has found.

The research was conducted in part with the Mayor’s Office of Policing and Crime and the National Lottery Community Fund.

But the research revealed another worrying factor in the abuse: More than half of the ethnic women surveyed said the sexual harassment or assault they experienced was directly linked to their racial or ethnic identity.

After some minority women rejected sexual comments and advances, 18% reported being racially insulted.
