A man has been arrested and charged following a series of alleged assaults and robberies targeting women over a four-hour period on Sunday in north and central London.

The incidents occurred between 06:40 am and 10:25 am in the City of London, Camden, and Islington.

During this time, ten women were either sexually assaulted or faced attempted robbery by a man riding a bicycle.

In one instance, the alleged perpetrator successfully stole a woman's bag.

The suspect has been described as a black man, approximately 5 feet 11 inches tall, wearing a beanie hat and a dark grey coat.

Following these events, a man has been detained and charged with six counts of sexual assault, two counts of common assault, and one count each of robbery and attempted theft.

The individual appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday and has been remanded in custody, with a subsequent appearance scheduled at Snaresbrook Crown Court on February 12.

Metropolitan Police are currently conducting inquiries to determine if there are any additional related offences.

Detective Inspector Anna Deighton has urged any other potential victims of sexual assault or robbery to contact authorities, emphasizing that those who come forward will receive support and that their information will contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the incidents.

The police department continues to prioritize efforts to tackle violence against women and girls, reflecting ongoing initiatives to improve public safety in London.
