Police want to speak to this man in connection with the incident

Two teenage boys were forced to fight, steal and perform a sex act on each other during a “distressing” attack.

On Wednesday, February 11, at 7.55 pm two teenage boys boarded a 133 bus in Brixton.

A man, who had got on the bus at the same time, approached the boys who were sat on the top deck and told them he had a knife.

According to police, he then forced the pair off the bus in the Elephant and Castle area.

The boys were led to a park in Newington Butts, where they were forced to fight each other and steal from a nearby shop.

The teenagers were then take to a stairwell of a block of flats in Walworth where he forced one of the boys to perform a sex act on the other.

The suspect then walked away from the area in an unknown direction.

Police have now released a CCTV image of a man they would like to speak to following the incident.

Trainee Detective Constable Amy Beautridge said: “This was a most unusual and distressing crime, during which the two young victims were terrified by threats made by the suspect, who intimated he was in possession of a knife. He used their fear to control them and force them to effectively do as he said.

“Despite their young age, the victims have been incredibly brave in coming forward and providing information to the police and I would praise them for this.

She urged anyone who recognises the man in the CCTV image to call the police and added that anyone who contacts the police will be treated with the utmost sensitivity.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 020 8721 4621, or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or at www.crimestoppers-uk.org.
