Thames Valley Police have released an e-fit of a man they want to speak to after a woman in her twenties was attacked while running near Eton in August.

The woman reported being attacked on Friday 28 August 2026 while running along the Jubilee River before continuing onto Eton Wick. She told officers she was struck on the head under the railway bridge on Eton Wick Road and fell to the ground, before being held in a headlock by her attacker, who then fled the scene.

The victim sustained minor injuries and did not need hospital treatment. Police say the man depicted in the e-fit is described as white, approximately in his early twenties, around 5ft 7ins tall, with short brown hair. At the time of the incident he was wearing baggy blue shorts and no top.

Investigating officer PC Eva Lalic said: "We are releasing an e-fit depicting a man we are looking to trace in connection with this incident."

Police are asking anyone who recognises the man in the e-fit to come forward. Anyone with information can contact Thames Valley Police on 101, quoting reference 43260448686, or report it through the force's online form. People who wish to remain anonymous can call the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

The e-fit was released on Sunday 8 November, more than two months after the reported attack. No one has been charged in connection with the incident, and the man pictured is someone police want to speak to as part of their enquiries, not a convicted offender.

The Jubilee River is a popular route for runners and walkers in the Eton area, running close to Eton College and through Eton Wick. Police have urged anyone who regularly uses the riverside paths and may have seen a man matching the description on the day of the attack to come forward, even if they did not witness the attack itself.

The appeal comes amid a series of e-fit releases by Thames Valley Police in recent weeks, including separate appeals after incidents in Windsor and Slough. In each case the force has said the e-fit is based on the victim's description and that identifying the man pictured could be vital to the investigation.

Anyone who recognises the man, or who was in the area of Eton Wick Road or the Jubilee River on Friday 28 August and saw anything suspicious, is asked to contact Thames Valley Police on 101, quoting reference 43260448686, or to report information online. Information can also be given anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
