He was said to be wearing a long black jacket with blue tracksuit bottoms. The attack took place near the park’s basketball court.

Specially trained police officers are currently supporting the victim and police patrols of the area have been increased.

Detective Constable Gemma Morris from the East Area Command Unit, said, “Goodmayes Park would have been busy at this time of the afternoon and I am appealing to anyone that was in the park and saw the male described to please come forward and provide us with information.
