London police have released a composite sketch of the suspect wanted in relation to a sexual assault reported in the city’s south end White Oaks neighbourhood.

The search stems from an incident that police say took place late last month.

According to police, a woman in the area of Conway Drive and Ernest Avenue, south of Bradley Avenue, was “grabbed from behind and thrown to the ground by an unknown man who then sexually assaulted her” at roughly 1:30 a.m. on Aug. 28.
