Police have released an e-fit of a man they wish to speak to in connection with a suspected assault and intentional strangulation in Eton.

A woman, in her twenties, reported being attacked on Friday 28th 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 before her attacker fled the scene.

The victim sustained minor injuries but did not require hospital treatment.

A suspect depicted in the e-fit is described as a white man, approximately in his early twenties, around 5ft 7ins tall with short brown hair, and was wearing baggy blue shorts and no top.

Thames Valley Police 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."

"We would ask anyone who recognises this man to please come forward and contact us on 101 quoting reference 43260448686 or you can provide information through our online form."
