Detectives are hunting a sex attacker who has assaulted three women.
Officers are urging women to take care when walking alone and to stay in well lit areas after a series of attacks in south east London.
In three separate incidents, women were grabbed from behind by a man.
Two of the victims, who are all white and were wearing skirts, managed to escape but one was forced to the ground and sexually assaulted, police said.
The 20-year-old woman was making her way home at 1.30am on January 15 when she was attacked in Crooklog, Bexleyheath.
A second woman, 41, was walking to work along Beverley Road, close to Barnehurst Railway station, at 8am on January 22 when she was grabbed.
A third attack took place early on Thursday, at 6.15am, when a 25-year-old woman was en route to work.
She was in Hornfair Road, close to the junction with Shooters Hill Road, in Charlton, Greenwich, when a man grabbed her by the throat.
He tried to sexually assault her but gave up after a struggle and ran off.
None of the women needed hospital treatment after the attacks, which are now being investigated by officers from Greenwich CID and Bexleyheath Sapphire Unit.
The suspect is described as a white man, aged around 20, between 5ft 8in and 5ft 10in and of slim build.
Witnesses to any of the attacks or anyone with information should contact the incident room on 0208 2849 818 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
