POLICE are hunting a pervert accused of assaulting an eight-year-old girl.

At around 9am on September 30 the girl was walking down Rangefield Road, Bromley, when a man stepped out of some bushes as she reached the junction with Bonville Road.

The suspect started talking to the girl, put his arm on her shoulder and stroked her thigh.

He told her to come and get in his car because her mother had asked him to pick her up.

The victim ran away.

The suspect is described as a white man, aged between 40 and 50, about 5ft 6in tall, of medium build, with short, dirty, greasy, grey hair, grey stubble and hazel eyes. He was wearing a brown long-sleeved top and green trousers.

Anyone with information should contact Bromley police Detective Constable Will Hope on 020 8284 8868 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
