Police are hunting a man who "may be bleeding" after a woman was assaulted at home in one of London's most exclusive areas.

Scotland Yard said a woman in her 20s suffered head injuries after the assault in St John's Wood at around 5am on Saturday.

Members of the public were warned to call 999 if they see the man, who is wanted after the attack in Grove End Road.

A spokesman for the Met said: "The suspect, who is believed to be known to the victim, is described as white, aged in his late 20s, 5ft 10ins tall, of slim build with blond hair. He was wearing a blue jumper, jeans and a woolly hat.

"It is believed that he might be bleeding."

The woman did not require hospital treatment.
