Scotland Yard detectives investigating allegations of a stalking have released an image of a man they want to speak to.
An investigation began in December after a 19-year-old woman reported she had been approached by a man in the Westfield shopping centre in Stratford, east London.
The alleged victim told police the man asked her on a date, but when she declined, he returned the following day and spat at her.
Since the incident took place, detectives have carried out a number of enquiries to identify the man concerned.
Detective have now released an image of a man they are looking to speak to in connection with their investigation.

Detective Constable Marlon Caldwell, who is leading the investigation, said: “As a result of this man’s actions the victim now completely avoids Stratford Westfield shopping centre.
“No one should ever have to modify their behaviour because of the unwelcome actions of somebody else.
“Incidents of this nature are completely inappropriate and we are conducting a full and through investigation to bring the person responsible to justice."
The detective said he was asked for the public’s help in identifying the man on the CCTV image Scotland Yard has released.
“If you recognise him please get in touch with us," he said.
Anyone with any information is asked to call police on their 101 number.
