Police have released an image of a man suspected of indecent exposure on Clapham Common during the vigil held for Sarah Everard on Saturday 13 March and are appealing to anyone who took photographs or video footage in the area to check if their footage contains him.

Several hundred people gathered on Clapham Common on Saturday 13 March to pay tribute to Sarah Everard, who vanished on 3 March while walking home from a friend's house in Clapham.

Planned evening vigils were called off because of Covid restrictions, but hundreds gathered at the bandstand.

Images and videos of policing during the confrontations that ensued prompted widespread public outrage.

Now, the footage of what many condemned for having shown "police brutality" could help officers identify a man who indecently exposed himself to a woman that same evening on Clapham Common.

Lambeth Police said a woman was walking on Clapham Common Southside near Windmill Drive, at around 20:00 on Saturday 13 March when the incident happened.

The man is described as white, approximately 50-years-old and around 5ft 6in tall with grey hair.

He was wearing light coloured trousers and a bright red waistcoat or vest over a shirt.

Detective Constable Luke Flood, from the Command Unit which polices Lambeth, made an appeal to anyone who was in the area or who can help identify the man in the released e-fit image to contact police.

He said: "Clapham Common was extremely busy on that Saturday evening.

"Many people would have been filming or taking pictures and I would ask them to check any material they captured to see if they can identify the man described.

"We also cannot discount that there may have been other incidents of this nature in and around the Clapham Common area. I would urge anyone who has any information to get in contact.

"An incident of indecent exposure can be an extremely distressing offence for those who witness it and it is one police take very seriously. Officers have spoken to the victim in this case to offer her support and ensure she is kept updated with the progress of the investigation."

Anyone who can assist police is asked to contact 101 or tweet @MetCC and quote CAD117/14MAR.
