Detective Chief Inspector Barry Thorne on the hunt - which he is leading - for a man who forced a 27 year-old female American tourist travelling from Ealing Broadway to Stamford Brook in London from the tube train at Chiswick Park and raped her on nearby parkland. Police are linking the assault with another attack last year in the same vicinity. Thorne gives a detailed description of the suspect and says he believes there may be witnesses on the train and he would like people with information to call Crimestoppers at Scotland Yard.
