Police have released a CCTV image of a man who may have witnessed a sexual assault attempt around the Mitcham and Tooting area. 

On August 28 last year, a woman was walking home through a communal door, when she realised she was being followed along Mitcham Road. 

Merton Police reported that a man tried to sexually assault her, but he was 'disturbed' by her flat mate who intervened. 

Today police have shared an image of a man who may be able to assist with their enquiries.
