A police investigation is ongoing and no arrests have been made two weeks after a 43-year-old woman was viciously attacked while walking through Uxbridge on Halloween (Monday October 31).

Philippa May was followed by a hooded assailant as she walked along St John's Road to her partners house before being shoved to the ground in a lane.

The suspect made a sexual threat before he fled with her rucksack containing two iPhones, leaving Ms May bloodied and bruised.

Hillingdon 's borough commander Colin Wingrove told getwestlondon that detectives are determined to bring the offender to justice.

On Thursday (November 10), the Metropolitan Police released CCTV footage of a man they want to speak with in connection with the vicious attack.
