The woman was reportedly walking alone along Bradiston Road, Kilburn, at around 9pm in March 2022 when the "horrifying ordeal" took place.

Police are now appealing for information - releasing an e-fit image of a man, believed to be in his late 30s.

During the incident, the woman reported that a car, thought to be a dark-coloured Audi A3, stopped at the junction of Bradiston Road, meters ahead of her, before she was pushed into the vehicle from behind by the unknown male.

The Metropolitan Police have now revealed the man spoke with a Jamaican accent, described as a tall figure with short dreadlocks.

The force added the man had a significant facial scar to one cheek.
